Description
Nain carpets are very highly regarded for both their quality and designs. This particular piece is an unusual square size, and extremely finely woven with most of the intricate floral design highlighted by silk.
...
This beautiful square 6la Nain carpet is extremely fine and has an abundance of silk highlights to showcase the intricate design. A subtle pale ivory centre with delicate pale blues, an exquisite piece. A remarkable fine, elegant carpet which would have taken at least 3 years to weave. This exceptional Nain carpet was woven around 1970.
Nain carpets are graded according to the quality of the wool, silk and how fine the weave is, this is graded by the term “La” in farsi means layer. 4La being the finest and often silk on a silk foundation, 6La which is extremely fine with silk and wool more often and 9La, which is also very good quality. If the quality is lower than a 9La the pattern can get very “fuzzy” and primitive compared to the higher quality pieces.
The majority of Nain carpets have a central medallion such as this carpet and are usually woven with the main colours being cream or off white together with blues of various hues. The designs are all floral, take note of the vines growing throughout the field. Carpets from Nain are beautifully produced using wonderful dyes and classical designs.
