Origin:
Among the finest carpets in the world, the word Nain is sometimes used in Iran as a synonym for 'fine'. These elegant carpets are produced in and around the city of Nain, some 60 miles east of the enchanted city of Isfahan. A favorite of many collectors, Nains are precise, delicate and can be stunningly beautiful. They are woven on cotton, or on silk of varying degrees of quality, and are mostly beige and blue, with stunning silken highlights. The blues can vary from the deepest midnight to the palest sky, with royals and spectacular turquoises along the way. Typical details include the curvilinear vines with forked leaves, Shah Abbas flowers, birds and animals, and regal borders. Many are signed, and for a genuine Habibian signature it is permitted to sell the fame. |
History & Construction:
Nain is a young, but reputable rug producing city in Iran, with much of its skills coming from the neighboring, ancient city of Isfahan. Up until the early 20th century, the people of Nain were known for producing high quality, hand-made woolen cloth, which was used to make fine wool cloaks and traditional garments. After WWII, American fashion became more mainstream in Iran, and the market for these fabrics faded. Nain’s knowledge of textiles was adapted to rug weaving. With master weavers sometimes taking years to finish a rug, Nain’s new reputation was established. Although similar to Isfahan rugs, Nains have distinct colors and a short, smooth pile. Designs typically feature an overall arabesque and curvilinear floral pattern. Colors include blues on a soft background of ivory or beige, with hints of green and white. While 300 to 500 KPSI (knots per square inch) are not uncommon, neither is the use of fine wool and silk on foundations of cotton or silk. |
