Very Fine Circular Persian Nain Rug Medallion design Silk and Wool on Cotton foundation

 

An unusual and exquisite Persian Nain circular rug, central Persia, wool and silk on cotton foundation. Signed ‘Habibian’.

 

The ivory field with a pale blue central floral star medallion linked to conjoined beige teardrop pendants surrounded by similar ivory heart shaped pendants all with pendants, palmettes, raceme and flower heads linked by curvilinear vines, within an ivory border enclosing continuous palmettes supported by meandering curvilinear flowering vines, pale blue secondary guard borders, the outer border signed ‘Habibian’

This is an exquisite ornate example of fine Nain weaving, duly signed by the  important Nain master weaver, ‘Habibian’. This exceptionally fine rug displays the very best of Nain technical expertise. Typically, the colours are from the characteristic and distinctive Nain palette, displaying shades of dark and pale blue, beige, ivory and red juxtaposed in such a way as to maximise the visual impact supporting the technical excellence and thereby creating a woven master piece of Nain weaving.

Every element of the design is drawn with great finesse and flows beautifully with soft curved elements not just reminiscent of classical Persian tradition but executed to consummate artistic effect to emphasise the sheer beauty and harmony of the composition.
This is a superb unique example of Nain weaving by the master weaver ‘Habibian’.
It is worth noting that the weaving of a circular rug is an extremely skilful exercise. As by its very nature, the looms are specifically designed to create rectangular or square shaped rugs. The application of presenting curves to the shape and weaving of the design is extremely challenging  from a technical point of view.
