Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

An ivory field carrying a continuous scrolling arabesque hung with palmettes, curled leaves and small blossoms, with a lobed star medallion at the centre worked in blue, wine and cream. Deep red corner spandrels anchor the four corners, and a wide ivory main border of flowering vine frames the whole, backed by pale blue and navy guard stripes. Cream fringe at both ends.

Hand-knotted in wool. The palette is held to about seven colours — ivory, blue, wine, tan, sage, cream and navy — which is the Nain discipline: with little variety available the design has to carry itself on drawing, and the arabesque is deliberately drawn finer than the palmettes it supports. At 167×206cm this is a smaller room rug, useful in a study, a bedroom or a compact sitting room where a full-size piece would crowd the floor. The ivory ground is elegant but will show traffic more readily than a dark rug would.

  • Type: Hand-knotted pile rug

  • SKU: NCA 3566
  • One-of-a-kind: Yes

This is a fine, hand-knotted piece that rewards a little extra care. 100% wool pile with a natural fringe at both ends.

The ivory ground will show traffic and spills more readily than a dark rug would. A smaller rug also concentrates its wear rather than spreading it, so a rug pad and regular rotation matter more here than on a room-sized piece.

Nain is identified by restraint rather than by any single motif, and the quickest test is to count colours. This rug uses about seven; an Isfahan or a fine Tabriz of comparable knot count will use a dozen or more, and a Kazak will use fifteen. That restriction is not a limitation the weaver worked around, it is the premise of the style — with little colour to fall back on, every element has to be separated by line, which is why the arabesque here is drawn so fine and why the knot count has to be high enough to hold it. Follow one of the pale scrolling stems and it runs unbroken behind palmettes and out the other side, never thickening. The second Nain habit is the hierarchy: the abstract scroll is treated as structure and drawn finer, while the flowers it carries are treated as incident and drawn larger. That is why a Nain reads calm from across a room and complicated up close, rather than the other way round.
