The beautiful floral design unfolds across an elegant dark blue field — an unusual and striking color choice for the Nain tradition, which more typically favors ivory and cream — richly adorned with intricate floral motifs and luminous silk highlights that bring the composition to shimmering life. The city of Nain, located in the high desert plateau of Central Persia, produces rugs distinguished by extraordinarily fine knot counts, the use of silk alongside wool, and a design vocabulary of refined classical Persian florals. Woven with remarkable precision and finesse, this piece is equally suited as a luxurious floor covering or displayed as a wall-hung tapestry — a true heirloom piece that embodies the highest aspirations of 20th century Persian weaving. In excellent — essentially new — condition. Dimensions: 4' 2"" x 6' 8"" Date of Manufacture: 3rd Quarter of the 20th Century Place of Origin: Persia (Nain) Material: Wool pile on a cotton foundation with silk highlighting Condition: Excellent (New) SKU: 1202" See less
