Nain · circa 1975

Nain nohla carpet

Price on request

298 × 200 cm · 9′9″ × 6′7″

Nain at its most persuasive: ivory, washed blue and taupe only, the arabesques traced in silk so the design floats slightly above the wool ground. From across a room it reads as texture; underfoot it resolves into precise classical drawing.

The nohla grade marks the finer end of the town's production. For contemporary architecture — pale timber, limestone, plaster — few carpets sit so naturally.

Each piece is one of one, acquired personally on your behalf. Online acquisitions open with the release of our inaugural collection; enquiries are welcomed now. Fully insured delivery within the United Kingdom and Europe.
