Magnificent antique Na'in rug, hand-knotted, in Kork wool and silk, Isfahan decor, Iran, circa 1930
in very good condition, measuring 142 cm wide by 205 cm long.
Na'in are considered the finest knotted rugs in current rug art, their place of creation, east of Isfahan, made them considered among the Khorassan types while representing a separate group.
They are tightly knotted, very dense and are therefore very resistant. The ornamentation of these wonderful rugs used delicate medallion arabesques with sometimes vases as added elements or wonderful and ingenious compositions of arabesques with flowers and full boteh motifs of elk.
The Na'in is very similar to the Isfahan stylistically, by the balance of colors and the delicate articulation of the designs, apart from the colors used. The commonly used shades are light or night blues and blacks placed on cream, white, camel (our model) backgrounds sometimes combining straw yellow but also more rarely deep red.
The thin background knotting usually uses silk, fine kork wool and cotton, in densities between 500,000 and 900,000 knots per m2. Our model does not deviate from these rules and offers us a magnificent piece of old quality.
A medallion of good size accompanied by borders very present in decoration in the Persian style and taste.
The blues usually used are found on the domes of mosques in ancient Persia and Central Asia.
## Kork wool is the softest wool taken from under the neck and belly of lambs at their first shearing, which makes the rugs soft to the touch. This rug has been professionally and ecologically cleaned.
Impeccable edges, fringes and pile
