Origin: Iran (Persia) - City of Nain Type:Finely woven Silk Based Part Silk Nain rug. Size:2,71m X 1,56m Description:Woven in Nain, a small city between Isapahan and Yazd, this 'Bandi' or repeating design is a composition of Bidjar and Shah Abassi motifs. Set against a pale blue ground, each palmette with attendant leaves and blossoms is highlighted in a silver white framing of silk and anchored in floral rosettes spaced in even rows of palmettes. Against an ivory field and in sets known as stereo circle Eslimi, palmettes fill the main border. The inner and outer guards are crowded with dainty multiple floral motifs and chain spirals. As in most Nain designs, the colours are soft and intricately harmonized. Rugs and carpets of this excellence found favour and purchase in the Courts of the last reigning Shah of Persia. |
