Nain carpets are very exclusive carpets from the small town of Nain which is right next to the famous city of Esfahan. Most of the Nain people made carpets with indentations from Esfahan up until the 1930s when the Nain carpets arrived. This means that there are no antique Nain rugs.
Very elegant and detailed bushes with leaves and flowers (figural) are the most common motif. In addition to the plant decoration, the middle field is also often patterned with a variety of animals, mainly birds resting on a branch or flying as well as gazelles and harpoons.
Depending on the fineness of the carpet, the warp is made of either silk or wool, while most carpets have reliefs of silk elements or are completely silk. The density and exclusivity of the carpet is also assessed according to "La". The term "La" is Persian for layers and refers to the number of layers of threads used in each warp thread during manufacture. The fewer, the finer the carpet. The finest carpets are either 4 La (sharla) or 6 La (shishla) with a knot density of over 1,000,000 knots/sq.m. These carpets are either completely silk or with strong silk elements and Korkull.
The finest wool from the sheep is called cork wool, which sits on the neck of the sheep with a very high content of wool fat in it, which makes it soft and easier to work with. Other qualities of the carpets that are referred to more as utility carpets are 9 La (nohla) and 12 La (davazdahla). These rugs have a lower knot density and are very durable rugs with wool and silk elements as material.
