Black Nain

Home / Persian Renaissance Area Rug Collection / Black Nain

Inspired by classical Persian carpets, this collection has fresh contemporary appeal. Woven in Belgium using pure New Zealand worsted wool with luxurious accents of genuine silk, these rugs have a smooth velvet sheared finish with a short fringe to complement the antique look of the rug for easy maintenance.

The city of Nain, on the fringes of the central Persian desert, only began to weave carpets in the 20th century but rapidly developed into an important center distinguished for the fine quality of designs. Karastan’s Black Nain puts a contemporary spin on the traditional palette by trading blues for dramatic black and featuring it as the ground color, while retaining subtle accents of taupe, gold, ivory, and red. The original carpet from which our Black Nain is interpreted was itself woven of part silk – a fitting attribute, as the signature of all rugs in our Persian Renaissance Collection are the dazzling accents of pure white silk. This rug coordinates beautifully with the Keshan Ivory and Ziegler Ivory patterns.

It's no wonder Karastan wools offer numerous advantages for you and your family:

Easy to Clean. Natural resilience to dirt and soiling make Karastan wools exceptionally easy to maintain.
Non-Allergenic. Karastan wools are safe for your family. Wool is a non-allergenic fiber; it does not promote the growth of bacteria or dust mites, or give off harmful emissions.
Strong and Durable. Patented woven technology ensures Karastan wools are incredibly durable and strong, creating products that last.
Crush Resistant. Natural crimp gives Karastan wools built-in resilience to crushing. Furniture marks disappear when the fiber is gently moistened and allowed to recover naturally.
Inherently Fire Safe. Naturally flame retardant, Karastan wools are difficult to ignite, do not melt, and are self-extinguishable.
Resistant to Static. Karastan wools do not suffer from static electricity build-up.
Comfortable. Inherent bulk and resilience gives Karastan wools superior sound and heat insulating properties.
Environmentally Friendly. Karastan practices environmentally responsible, energy efficient, and safe manufacturing procedures that pair well with the natural beauty and sustainability of New Zealand wool.
