1950's Persian Nain Carpet with Traditional Style & Quran Kufic Calligraphy
About the Item
79190 Vintage Ivory Persian Nain Rug, 04'05 x 07'02. Step into the sacred geometry of devotion with this rare hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Nain rug, a woven manuscript of faith and majesty. Unlike the florid botanicals of typical Nain compositions, this masterpiece is inscribed with divine proclamation—its forest green and navy lozenge medallion brimming with Kufic calligraphy, elegantly mirrored and stylized. Each line is not merely ornament, but utterance: “There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God” resounds at its heart, anchoring the rug in the spiritual bedrock of Islam.
The field, ivory and luminous, pulses with an ordered rhythm of sacred phrases. “Allah is the Greatest,” appears interlocked in angular symmetry, echoing the exaltation heard from minarets. Elsewhere, the noble declaration “The sultan, son of the sultan” alludes to dynastic power, while the outer cartouche whispers a verse from Surah Yusuf: “But Allah is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful.” These words, drawn from scripture and court, are veiled in abstraction—woven as devotion, encoded in wool, read only by those who seek.
Borders in warm ochres and soft cerulean blues hold the composition like walls of a sanctuary, filled with repeating glyphs, geometric tessellations, and the echo of ancient mosques. This is not a rug one merely places—it is a relic, a statement, a silent prayer cloaked in visual harmony. Every glyph, whether deciphered or dreamt, binds the viewer in a dialogue between text and textile, earth and eternity.
A marvel of sacred design and cultural memory, this Persian Nain rug offers more than beauty—it offers a place of contemplation. Its fine knotting, architectural layout, and luminous script make it a rare find for scholars, collectors, and aesthetes alike. With reverence in every thread, it speaks across centuries: not through florals, but through faith.
