Isfahan is one of the most famous rug-making hubs in Iran, and it has gained recognition over the years. The rugs made in this region by sophisticated weavers are esteemed for their intricate designs and high-quality materials. Initially, the designs and patterns of Nain rugs were inspired by Isfahan carpets. However, after a while, the creation started to row, and new designs attributed to Nain started to be established.
The central medallion seen in this rug is the hallmark of Iranian rugs and carpets. This medallion is encircled with other elements and curvilinear shapes, which make this central shape stand out. Another factor that causes the medallion to be highlighted is related to the colour palette of the whole rug. The black background in the field of detailed designs of this white rug is used to make the grey and white elements stand out more. The blue border flanking the field is adorned with unique flora patterns. The bigger ones are named Shah Abbasi motifs.
The history of Nain rugs is recent compared with other big cities in Iran. These woven rugs started to be made in the 20th century. Traditional textiles were first commonly produced in Nain. Then, it shifted from textiles to weaving rugs and carpets. The reason for this change was related to people's demands at that time. The experts in rug weaving, many of whom were trained in Isfahan city, started to create Persian Nain rugs, showcasing the blend of quality and precious Isfahan rugs with the aesthetic sensibilities of Nain.
