Nain wool rug with floral design

Nain wool rug with floral design
Persian, 20th Century
Height 134cm, width 91cm
 
This exceptional rug is a masterclass of Persian design elements. The central panel has a circular patterning, which fills the space in a series of repeating concentric circles. Floral and star motifs accompanied by flowing tendrils form the design, and the complexity of the patterning showcase the extraordinary craftsmanship of the rug’s maker. Black accents adorn the patterns, giving them a three-dimensional feel bringing the rug to life.
 
The rug utilises a palette of subtle tones, featuring a base of rose and orange that is complemented by vibrant blue elements. The warmth of these tones bestows the rug with a calming allure that would add an inviting atmosphere to any space.
 
The central panel is framed by a series of three friezes, the larger of which employs similar floral motifs to the central design. The smaller friezes stand out with their deep blue background, and even on this small scale still boast incredible attention to detail.
 
With intricate details that reinforce the impressive design reputation of Nain, this rug would make a fabulous addition to any interior space.
