Nain 9LaHand KnottedRug

Black / Dark grey245 x 355 cm

Nain rugs originate from the town of Nain in Persia, a region with a rich and enduring heritage in fine textile arts. Over generations, local weavers developed a distinct aesthetic that draws on classical design traditions, blending refined floral motifs with balanced colour palettes.

The designation 9La refers to the traditional classification of the yarns used in the foundation and pile construction. A 9La specification indicates a finer grade of weaving where fewer threads are bundled together in the warp and weft, allowing for a denser knot count and sharper pattern definition.

Signature design elements of Nain carpets typically include a central medallion surrounded by flowing arabesques, floral sprays, and delicate scrolling vines. While traditional pieces often favour ivory and blue tones, this variation in dark green offers a distinctive interpretation of a classic Persian style.

Owning a Nain carpet connects your home to a long lineage of master craftspeople. These pieces are collected and valued worldwide for their intricate artistry, cultural heritage, and the enduring patience required to create them.

This rug is entirely hand-knotted by skilled artisans who dedicate months of careful labour to its creation. Using traditional techniques passed down through generations, weavers tie each individual knot by hand onto the foundation.

With a density of 490,000 knots per m2 across its 355 x 245 cm dimensions, this piece requires an immense investment of time and precision. The total knot count reaches into the millions, reflecting a level of human dedication that simply cannot be replicated by machinery.

The substantial weight of 26.1 kg further speaks to the dense concentration of natural materials and the robust, traditional construction methods employed, ensuring a heavy, stable rug that lies flat and holds its shape gracefully.
