This carpet has a clever composition of colourways as well as construction. There is not only a contrast in texture but also visually in the luminosity of the pile itself. The pure wool background\/ base colours give the carpet a neutral matte robust finish. Contrasting with this, there are numerous areas across the carpet with raised pure silk handknotting that have properties of great sheen and lustre. This extends the artistic and textural contrast; further adding a certain unique dimensionality; visually and texturally. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Committed and Artistic Use of Colour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool and silk pile is handknotted and woven onto a foundation consisting of cotton warp threads. The weft threads that are woven across the width of the carpet, inbetween each row of knots, are also made from cotton. The colour combinations in the carpet's pile are subtle gradations of tone and hue within the wool as well as the silk areas. This adds a painterly-like effect as well as the raised areas giving an impression of 'impasto' of an oil painting, yet in a woven art form. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe committed use of colour has warm earthy tones and with the changing view of this carpet creates a stunning effect, not only with the direction of the pile as a whole, but also the sheen and handcutting in relief. The background tone of the wool ground ranges from stone-cream to taupes, and pewter grey-clay to hints of dark charcoal. This also give a sense of depth. The raised pure silk knotting also has an artful blend of colours ranging from a light silver-blue to light teal, as well as warming to light bronze-golds and terracotta light rusts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign and Modernity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a beautiful, yet dramatic, move away from traditional carpet formats.

Prior to this time, the traditional industry of Nain was the production of fine woollen cloth for the Persian cloak or aba. With the adoption of western dress, these skills were adapted to the production of fine rugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus, Nain began a production that was more finely knotted than any other weave of the time (with knot counts of approx 450kpsi).

The mercerised cotton is a shiny fibre which has a silk-like look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand-knotting carpet weaving method is where the pile is formed by individually tied knots.
