Vintage Nain Habibian Carpet, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Vintage Persian Rugs, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century — The complex pattern, stunning symmetry, and masterful artistry make this magnificent Persian Nain Habibian carpet a stunning work of art. A soft, dreamlike base of cream provides the background of this stunning antique rug. A pale fringe bookends the carpet, giving way to a pale border of lavender and light cream. This gives way to a series of narrow frames, each overlaid with increasingly intricate floral detail. The gentle, natural style recalls flowered vines and delicate blossoms. These frame a broader border with a gentle peach background rich complexity and marvelous, intricate detail. A traditional peony motif in dominates the border, woven with a delicate vine and blossom pattern, emphasized by traditional Arabesque complexity. A second, identical series of narrow borders rich with minute floral detail frames the stunning, breathtakingly complex heart of this magnificent rug. A pristine expanse of snowy cream provides the base for a pattern of unmatched intricate complexity and flawless geometry. Renderings of traditional motifs symbolizing strength and luck spill across the heart, forming a pattern so intricate and fascinating that the pattern’s flawless symmetry is not immediately apparent. Complex, complicated, unique, and stunningly lovely, this antique rug is a unmatched artistic statement.
