A NAIN CARPET
6 ft 4 in length x 4 ft 1 in width (192 x 124 cm)
Central Persia
This splendid Nain is a classical Persian rug design. A beige circular medallion filled with arabesque vines and flowers is surrounded by richly detailed palmettes and vines against a navy blue ground. Similar palmettes comprise the border, but set against beige to echo the medallion. Rarely do design and color converge so effectively. Very fine Kork wool with highlights of white silk on cotton foundation.
