166233, 293 × 194 cm, A Classic Blue and White Nain Carpet
SGD 0.00
A gorgeous Nain carpet in traditional blue and white colours, without red. Its intricate pattern and beautiful colours can bring elegance to a carefully chosen setting. Woven in wool and silk on a cotton foundation. Nain's carpet weaving emerged in the early 20th century from the town's earlier aba weaving, the fine woollen cloth used for cloaks. As imported textiles and changing fashions reduced demand for aba, the town's weavers turned to carpets. The blues, whites, beiges and tans associated with Nain recall the colours of that earlier textile tradition, giving these carpets their distinctive character.
