About the Item

79139 Vintage Blue Persian Wool & Silk Nain Rug, 03'11 x 06'03. In the storied city of Nain, nestled near the edge of Iran’s central desert, the art of Persian carpet weaving reached its most refined and luminous expression. This hand-knotted wool and silk vintage Persian Nain rug is a rare jewel born from that legacy—an exquisite heirloom that blends regal opulence with ethereal delicacy. Steeped in the grand tradition of Safavid-inspired aesthetics, the rug unfurls like a verse from a classical Persian poem, each knot a syllable in a language of luxury and lineage. Woven by master artisans with a reverence for symmetry, proportion, and poetic detail, this piece radiates a quiet magnificence that transcends time. The celestial blue field at its core sets a tone of sublime tranquility, acting as both canvas and sky for the resplendent medallion that anchors the composition. This medallion, a marvel of precision and grace, gleams with subtle silk threads that glint like starlight against the velvety backdrop. Encircling it are elegant scrolls of arabesques, palmettes, and finely drawn rosettes—each motif placed with exacting care, suggesting movement and grace as if caught mid-bloom. It is this very choreography of form and flourish that grants the rug its rhythm, echoing the timeless gardens of Persian paradise, where beauty was not simply seen, but felt. Framing this vision is a masterfully designed border rendered in soft ivory and sandstone tones, punctuated by delicate hints of crimson and slate. These tones provide the perfect foil to the sapphire ground, enriching the palette with warmth and aristocratic restraint. Within this frame, stylized florals and curvilinear vines interlace in a manner reminiscent of the Shah Abbas style—a hallmark of classical Persian artistry. The balance between complexity and serenity in the border’s design is a testament to the weaver’s exceptional eye and hand, elevating the rug into the realm of fine art. This is not ornamentation for ornamentation’s sake, but a sacred geometry of grace and meaning. To own this vintage Persian Nain is to inherit a piece of living history, crafted in a city where weaving is not merely a trade but a cultural rite. Its luxurious silk-and-wool composition speaks to both tactile indulgence and structural integrity, ensuring it will be treasured for generations. Beyond its material splendor, this rug represents an investment in preservation and social good—supporting heritage craftsmanship and the artisans who keep it alive. It is not simply décor; it is a symbol of connoisseurship, a celebration of beauty with soul, and a rare offering for those who understand that true luxury is measured not in quantity, but in meaning. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Hand knotted silk. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'11 x 06'03. Pile Height: 0.28 of an inch. Date: 1970's. Late 20th Century.
