Nain in Isfahan Province developed its carpet tradition in the mid-20th century, establishing a style defined by technical precision and restrained elegance. This genuine Iranian Nain is woven with wool pile and silk highlights on a silk base at 676 knots per square inch. The piece is signed by its maker Pahlevan Safaei, a mark of authorship that is uncommon in carpet production.
The light blue ground with beige border at 4 ft 3 in x 7 ft 3 in is unusual and refined. Blue grounds are less common in the Nain tradition than ivory and give this piece a cooler, more distinctive character. A genuine Iranian Nain on a silk base at this knot count and signed by its maker is a piece of considerable rarity.
In your home: Works in formal sitting rooms, master bedrooms and studies. The light blue ground suits rooms with cool wall tones and contemporary or classic luxury interiors.
