9’4″ x 12’4″ New Turkish Oriental Rug – Wool and Silk – Hand Made

This beautiful Oriental rug is a brand new 9’4″ x 12’4″ fine Persian Nain. This hand knotted rug is made with a wool and silk pile. Nain is a town 150km to the east of Isfahan in central Persia; it is relatively new to the carpet world compared to ancient weaving centres such as Kashan, Isfahan and Yazd. Although it started out producing Isfahan carpets, in the mid 1930s Nain began developing its own style. Very fine and precise designs were created due to the high quality of the workshops in the area. Nain rugs usually have a cotton foundation with a very soft wool or wool & silk pile. The majority of Nain rugs have at least some silk detail. Quality is measured not only in knots per square inch (KPSI) which averages about 300 but also in LAA. LAA is a Farsi term referring to the number of threads that make up each fringe.
