Extremely Fine Weave Persian Nain Habibian in Floral Pattern with Silk Highlight
Located in Barrington, IL
This extremely fine hand knotted Persian Nain rug, crafted in the 4th quarter of the 1900s, is an exquisite example of the artistry and precision for which Habibian-signed Nain rugs are globally celebrated. Known for their exceptionally high knot count and elegant aesthetic, Habibian rugs are among the most collectible in Persian weaving.
Set on a soft ivory background with a graceful pale tan border, this rug features a flowing floral design with accent colors in French blue, pale brown, and ivory. The field design—characterized by circular branching patterns—is reminiscent of the refined style found in Isfahan rugs, lending the piece a sense of symmetry and timeless beauty.
The corner spandrels are woven in a stunning blue tone, filled with intricate cream motifs that enhance the overall harmony of the composition. At the heart of the rug lies a brilliant central medallion, enriched with generous silk highlights that shimmer under changing light—creating a subtle three-dimensional effect that brings the design to life.
Made with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, and adorned with silk throughout, this rug is a rare and luxurious statement piece—a true masterwork from the legendary Habibian workshop in the city of Nain.

Vintage Handmade Silk Persian Rugs for Sale on 1stDibs
Make a bold statement in a living room or bedroom by incorporating vintage silk Persian rugs in your home decor.
The fascination with Persian rugs dates at least as far back as the 4th century B.C., when historian Xenophon referred to the “soft rugs on which the Persians sit.” For centuries, Iran (modern-day Persia) has been known for the craftsmanship, intricate patterns and artistry of its carpets, which have found their way into households and museums around the world.
Although they have many imitators, authentic Persian rugs are made only in Iran and are easily recognized by their vibrant colors and elegant patterns.
Traditional, or antique, Persian rugs are what most people identify as “authentic.” Hand-made, they are very durable and, if properly cared for, can be passed down from generation to generation. Modern Persians, on the other hand, are often machine-made. Although this production process is much faster and cheaper, the resulting rugs typically do not have the same quality or lifespan as handwoven ones, so traditional options are considered better investments. Today’s carpets, Iranian or otherwise, can’t possibly match the level of craftsmanship that prevailed centuries ago, so historical Persian carpets will always be admired and highly valued.
To distinguish between the two, look for imperfections. Because traditional Persian rugs are handwoven, you will likely see small flaws on the front and back. With a machine-made imitation, on the other hand, you will probably not find stitching glitches, and the back will have a mesh or plastic covering.
Antique rugs are handmade from the finest materials, including wool, silk or cotton — never synthetic fibers. The fibers used in older rugs are colored using natural dyes derived from insects and plants and woven into bold designs that reflect Iran’s culture and history. Since Persian tribes traditionally raised and herded sheep, wool was the most common material. The fiber has many advantages: It is fire-resistant and dries much more quickly than cotton. Also, because of its natural elasticity, it is more durable than cotton or silk. Regarded as works of art, Persian rugs can take months or years to complete.
When shopping for vintage silk Persian rugs, you'll want to consider color, size and more — for a history of these rugs and tips on how to style yours, visit our guide to these woven creations today.
