FAQs

Nain carpets originated in the central Iranian city of Nain during the early 20th century. They are characterized by fine knotting, precise symmetrical floral motifs, central medallions, and a distinct colour palette dominated by ivory, beige, light blue, and deep navy blue.

Traditional Nain carpets feature fine wool pile woven on a durable cotton foundation. Higher-grade examples incorporate real silk highlights outlining the intricate floral patterns to add visual depth and sheen to the pile.

Authentic Nain carpets exhibit fine knot density visible on the reverse side, clean cotton fringe ends, and precision arabesque design work. The presence of silk outlines around wool motifs alongside a refined ivory and blue colour balance is a signature indicator.

A classic Persian carpet acts as a visual anchor in a room, contrasting well against minimalist modern furniture or complementing classic wooden pieces. Placing a patterned rug under contemporary seating balances texture and grounds neutral floor finishes.

Vacuum wool and silk rugs regularly using a suction-only setting to prevent pull damage to the fibres. Promptly blot liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing, and employ professional specialist rug cleaners for deep washing.
