Nain 9LaHand KnottedRug

Dark grey / GreyRoundØ 252 cm

The Nain rug tradition originates from the town of Nain in Persia, a region renowned for its deep roots in textile artistry. Over generations, local weavers developed a distinct style characterised by delicate floral patterns and balanced, harmonious palettes that draw inspiration from classical architecture and garden designs.

The designation 9La refers to the traditional classification system based on the number of threads used in the warp foundation threads. A 9La construction indicates a fine, refined weave that allows for incredible detail in the curved floral motifs and borders, balancing durability with a graceful, refined drape.

The visual language of Nain rugs is defined by a central medallion surrounded by flowing arabesques and floral sprays, often set against a soft field of teal, ivory, and midnight blue. This piece follows that classic tradition while offering a distinct personality through its unusual and captivating circular format.

Owning a Nain rug means bringing a piece of rich cultural heritage into your home. The exceptional skill required to complete such a fine piece represents a tradition of craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations, making it a valued collectible for those who appreciate authentic artisan work.

Crafted entirely by hand, this rug represents months of dedicated work by skilled artisans. The hand-knotted technique requires immense patience and precision, with each of the 490,000 knots per m2 individually tied by hand to secure the structure.

Weighing 19.1 kg, the substantial construction reflects the dense packing of materials and the immense human effort invested in its creation. This meticulous method results in a sturdy, tightly bound foundation that ensures the rug lies flat and withstands daily life.
