Abibian Wool And Silk Nain Rug – Iran, Circa 1950

Naïn Abibian wool and silk rug, made in Iran around 1950, perfectly illustrates the refinement and excellence of the artisanal know-how of this region. Made of silky lambswool with silk details, it is distinguished by its central midnight blue field decorated with floral scrolls, delicate foliage and animal motifs, including birds and quadrupeds. Its finely worked central medallion blends harmoniously into this plant composition, giving the whole a timeless elegance. The border, on an ivory background, is richly decorated with flowers and birds, thus reinforcing the balance and beauty of the rug. Resting on a cotton foundation, this piece is characterized by an exceptional knot density, often exceeding a million knots per square meter, a signature of Naïn rugs. Dimensions: 182 cm x 110 cm
