MODERN PERSIAN NAIN QUALITY HAND KNOTTED SILK ON SILK RUG, 3' 1'' x 5': This finely woven rug shows the skill of a weaver not only in the design of the rug but also in the choice of colors. The roundish central medallion has a red center set in a turquoise blue that is bordered by the red in a tracery design. It is set on a white ground that has realistically drawn leaves and palmettes joined by vines. These are done in the red, the turquoise, and yellow, pale rust, and deep blue on the white. The turquoise blue guard borders on either side of the pretty yellow main border frame the field very effectively. Condition is very good.
