Persian Nain rug was hand knotted in Iran of 100% natural wool on a cotton foundation. This rug has medium wool piles and is in excellent condition. Beautiful colors and woven with excellent quality. No holes or repairs, and very soft with a gorgeous design. This rug came from a Central Virginia estate. Clean and ready to be enjoyed. Recent embargoes by the U.S. against Iranian goods should cause the value of these rugs to increase. Please see all of our rugs and other items at www.rug-auction.com. We ship too.
Hardly any other hand-knotted rug is as appreciated as the Nain. Nain carpets belong to the finest handicrafts of Iran. The city lies on the border of one of Iran's largest deserts, the Dasht-e-Kavir. Hardly anyone has not seen a Nain carpet, at least in pictures. The excellent quality and the fine knotting make Nain rugs a highly sought-after piece of craftsmanship by rug connoisseurs. Traditional Nain patterns have a central medallion surrounded by floral patterns. Not to be denied is the resemblance to rugs from the nearby town of Isfahan. Typically, Nain carpets are dyed red, blue or beige on the surface. Particularly fine Nain rugs are made entirely of silk. These silk carpets naturally have higher prices than those made of wool, for example. If you are looking for special luxury, you will find what you are looking for in Nain rugs.
