This 7'9 x 11'4 Red Persian Nain 9LA Rug is a finely woven example of classical Nain craftsmanship, combining a deep red field with an elegant ivory and navy palette. Woven with a high knot density and silk detailing, this rug reflects the precision and refinement associated with authentic 9LA Nain rugs, making it a distinguished choice for formal interiors.

Design and Motifs

The design centers around a balanced floral medallion composition, surrounded by an intricate network of scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and flowering branches. The motifs are finely articulated, creating a sense of movement and symmetry without overwhelming the field. This style is characteristic of high-quality Nain weaving, where clarity of pattern and precision of drawing are paramount.

Border and Framing

The central field is framed by a wide ivory main border decorated with repeating floral cartouches and vine scrolls, supported by multiple guard borders. These layers provide depth and visual structure, guiding the eye inward toward the medallion while maintaining balance along the rug’s perimeter.

Colors and Their Placement

The dominant color is a rich red field that anchors the composition and provides warmth. Ivory appears prominently in the medallion, border, and floral highlights, offering contrast and luminosity. Navy blue is used to define outlines, vines, and secondary motifs, while subtle accents of light blue, beige, and muted brown add softness and dimensional variation throughout the design.

Materials and Craftsmanship

This rug is hand knotted using fine wool with silk highlights, typical of 9LA Nain quality. The silk is selectively incorporated to enhance floral details and medallion contours, giving the surface a gentle sheen under light. The tight knot structure results in crisp pattern definition and a refined surface texture.
