Nain is a town on the edge of the desert and is very famous for its fine, especially classic Persian carpets. They are usually made of cotton warp (tassel), and very fine and soft wool and silk with a lot of lanolin. Lanolin (wax) ensures the wool has a long life, so quality carpets are passed down from generation to generation and are wonderful family heirlooms. <\/p>\n
The great carpet connoisseur and lover Alexander A. Loos once wrote: “There is no more beautiful connection between an art object and a useful product than this genuine Oriental carpet, a unique work of art with the most concentrated utility of all products of human creation.”<\/p>\n
Classic carpets include those made in cities such as Tabriz, Isfahan, Nain<\/strong> , Qum, Mashhad, Kashmar, Kerman, Ardabil… They are made according to graphic templates (in Persian – Talim), where all the details and colors for each cart used can be seen precisely. This allows them to make several carpets with a similar design. These carpets are made in master workshops, and the templates are the work of established carpet designers and painters. The most common motifs on them are flowers, arabesques, animals, gardens, hunting scenes and various depictions from the rich treasury of Persian mythology. These carpets are the bearers of the tradition of making carpets for Persian courts, which reached its peak in the 16th century during the Safavid dynasty. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reg. no.: 925<\/p>\n Size: 199 x 198 cm<\/p>\n Material \/ Pile: wool, silk<\/p>\n Base: cotton<\/p>\n Colors: plants<\/p>\n Design: floral (medallion – tower)<\/p>\n Weaving technique: handmade pile carpet<\/p>\n Knot density: 250,000 m\/2<\/p>\n Origin: Iran<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21312,"template":"","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[316,317],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-25593","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-classic-carpets","7":"product_cat-medium-carpets","8":"pa_barva-osnovna-white-beige","9":"pa_material-wool-silk","10":"pa_oblika-square","11":"pa_velikost-cca-200x200-en","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"sold-individually","16":"taxable","17":"shipping-taxable","18":"purchasable","19":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
