Wool and Silk Rugs Pile Selection
Sometimes, to give importance to some details, some motifs of rugs with wool pile are knotted in silk. In some specimens, it is possible to admire figures of animals or flowers that embellish the scene not only with the details of the forms, but also with that indomitable vitality that the sheen of the silk gives, in contrast with the calm background of the wool.
Then there are carpets, the Nain are a perfect example, where silk is patiently used to emphasize every decorative line, contouring every petal, every arabesque, every leaf, every detail. Thus, a blue-field Nain appears as a sapphire set in a frame made of arabesques, cantonals and frames. It is an extraordinary technique to enhance every detail and the result is nothing short of amazing!
