Persian Nain Habibian Room Size Rug, Hand Knotted Wool & Silk, Floral Pattern

Located in Barrington, IL

This extremely fine hand knotted Persian Nain rug, crafted in the 4th quarter of the 1900s.  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.  It is 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.

Located in Dallas, TX

72891 Vintage Persian Silk Qum Rug, 13'07 x 20'01. This hand-knotted vintage Persian silk Qum rug is a triumph of refinement—an ode to French Romanticism interpreted through the masterful lens of Persian artistry. Woven entirely in luminous silk, it shimmers with quiet opulence, each knot capturing light like brushed satin. Palace-worthy in scale and ambition, this is the sort of textile once reserved for private salons, formal reception rooms, and interiors curated with discernment. It does not simply decorate a space; it elevates it. At the heart of the exceptional composition, a concentric round medallion unfurls in breathtaking detail, radiating outward in perfectly orchestrated symmetry. Layer upon layer of petaled geometry forms a celestial rosette—symbolic of harmony, divine order, and the eternal garden. From this nucleus, a frenzied paradise emerges: blooming palmettes, curling arabesque vines, and leafy tendrils entwine with peonies, carnations, and lotus blossoms. The silky beige ground becomes a luminous canvas, allowing the florals to float in rhythmic motion, like a perfumed breeze through a royal conservatory. The corner spandrels are composed with unmistakable Baroque flair—sweeping scrolls and lavish bouquets cascade inward, framing the central medallion with theatrical grace. These flourishes speak to cross-cultural influence, where iconic Persian garden symbolism meets European romantic sensibility. Surrounding the field, an elegant millefleur border blossoms with miniature florals, each one rendered with astonishing clarity. Guard borders of ornamental floral meanders complete the enclosure, offering structure and refinement while maintaining visual abundance. The color story is dreamy and decadent—soft blush, antique rose, warm ivory, and deep garnet layered with painterly nuance. The silk pile enhances every tonal shift, producing a depth that feels almost alive. This exquisite work of art is not merely decorative; it is ceremonial. Designed for interiors that honor legacy and cultivated taste, it brings an air of formality, artistry, and exclusivity. To acquire such an extraordinary masterpiece is to embrace a heritage of craftsmanship and an aesthetic reserved for those who understand that true luxury whispers rather than shouts. Perfect for a large entertaining space, hotel lobby, lounge area, state room, great room, drawing room, country club, academic library, golf locker room, trophy room, private Chambers, great room, wine cellar, executive suite, conservatory, royal suite, billiards room, owners retreat, dining room, living room, or formal sitting room. Well-suited for a variety of interior styles: Rococo, French Provincial, Rocaille, Louis XV, Louis XIV, Parisian, Baroque, Empire, Romantic, Georgian, Neoclassical, Southern Living, Renaissance, Victorian, Regency, European, Old World, English Country, Tudor, Manor House and Traditional. Whether in a formal setting with elaborate furnishings or in an Ottoman style interior, this oversized silk Persian rug will bring vibrant life where it is displayed. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, pink coral, rose, salmon, ink blue, black, red, tan, light green, baby blue, sage, and brown with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted silk. Made in Iran.

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.
