About Nain Rugs
Among the finest carpets in the world, the word Nain is sometimes used in Iran as a synonym for 'fine'. These elegant carpets are produced in and around the city of Nain, some 60 miles east of the enchanted city of Isfahan. A favorite of many collectors, Nains are precise, delicate and can be stunningly beautiful. They are woven on cotton, or on silk of varying degrees of quality, and are mostly beige and blue, with stunning silken highlights. The blues can vary from the deepest midnight to the palest sky, with royals and spectacular turquoises along the way. Typical details include the curvilinear vines with forked leaves, Shah Abbas flowers, birds and animals, and regal borders. Many are signed, and for a genuine Habibian signature it is permitted to sell the fame.

I am not looking to buy or sell. I am reviewing this rug to place it in context and to use it as a teaching aid.

Thanks and best wishes,
