Origin

Nain is one of the best-known carpet provenances. Origin of Iran. The city of Nain lies northwest of Isfahan and has an ancient weaving tradition. Before the Khadjar dynasty from 1794 to 1925, the highest quality throws for nobles, so-called abas, were made here. Under the influence of Western culture, the traditional cover-up was replaced by the suit. The weavers shifted their business and began making rugs .

The rugs from Nain owe their distinctive patterns and color combinations in particular to the master Hadj Fatollah Habibian Naiini. He limited himself to less than ten colors when weaving and thus laid the foundation for the color composition of the rugs from Nain, which are still very popular today. The Basic colors To this day, they are mostly white or beige and blue, although Nain rugs in red, green and yellow are increasingly available. Floral patterns are typical, the contours of which are emphasized with silk. Thanks to their simple elegance and reduction to just a few colors, Nain rugs also fit perfectly into modern interiors.
