This Persian Nain rug measures 2'10" x 4'7", a finely knotted scatter size that brings the refinement of one of Persia's most prized weaving towns to an entryway, bedside, or reading corner. Brand new and never used, it sets an ivory medallion and ivory border against a rich royal blue field, with the crisp, delicate drawing that Nain is known for.

Design and Motifs

A pointed oval medallion sits at the center, filled with a fine blue and ivory diamond lattice and crowned by a small star rosette. Around it, an ivory subfield carries palmettes, leafy vines, and small blossoms, all framed by a royal blue field scattered with boteh, paisleys, and floral sprays. Ivory spandrels anchor the corners and an ivory main border of flowering vine completes the composition, drawn with the precise, airy spacing typical of Nain weaving.

Colors and Placement

The palette pairs a deep royal blue ground with ivory and cream, lit by sky and mid blues and warmed with camel, grey, and touches of wine. The blue field gives this piece more presence than a lighter Nain while staying calm and classic. At this 3 x 4 size it is easy to place in a foyer, kitchen, bedside spot, or hallway where its fine detail can be seen up close.

Origin and Construction

Nain lies on the edge of the central Persian desert, east of Isfahan, and rose to fame in the twentieth century for exceptionally fine curvilinear carpets. This example is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, with a tight knot count that gives the pattern its crisp definition and the surface its smooth, even finish.
