Vintage Room Size Persian Nain Rug in French Blue, Ivory
Located in Barrington, IL
This exceptional Persian Nain rug, handwoven in the 3rd quarter of the 1900s, showcases a rare French blue field paired beautifully with cream accents and silk highlights that bring the design to life. A true work of art, this room-size rug features an elegant central medallion framed by floral motifs in tones of caramel, red, and cream, creating a sense of harmony and refined sophistication.
The corner spandrels, set in cream with intricate blue floral detailing, and the balanced cream border, provide symmetry and contrast that enhance the richness of the field. The color palette and delicate patterning evoke the beauty of stained glass windows found in Europe’s great cathedrals—Notre Dame and Chartres come to mind—with light and color dancing across each thread.
Woven with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, and adorned with shimmering silk highlights, this rug is not only visually captivating but also a testament to the high craftsmanship of traditional Nain weaving.
A rare find and a timeless collectible, this Nain rug brings elegance, warmth, and cultural depth to any space.

Vintage Handmade Silk Persian Rugs for Sale on 1stDibs
Make a bold statement in a living room or bedroom by incorporating vintage silk Persian rugs in your home decor.
The fascination with Persian rugs dates at least as far back as the 4th century B.C., when historian Xenophon referred to the “soft rugs on which the Persians sit.” For centuries, Iran (modern-day Persia) has been known for the craftsmanship, intricate patterns and artistry of its carpets, which have found their way into households and museums around the world.
Although they have many imitators, authentic Persian rugs are made only in Iran and are easily recognized by their vibrant colors and elegant patterns.
Traditional, or antique, Persian rugs are what most people identify as “authentic.” Hand-made, they are very durable and, if properly cared for, can be passed down from generation to generation. Modern Persians, on the other hand, are often machine-made. Although this production process is much faster and cheaper, the resulting rugs typically do not have the same quality or lifespan as handwoven ones, so traditional options are considered better investments. Today’s carpets, Iranian or otherwise, can’t possibly match the level of craftsmanship that prevailed centuries ago, so historical Persian carpets will always be admired and highly valued.
To distinguish between the two, look for imperfections. Because traditional Persian rugs are handwoven, you will likely see small flaws on the front and back. With a machine-made imitation, on the other hand, you will probably not find stitching glitches, and the back will have a mesh or plastic covering.
Antique rugs are handmade from the finest materials, including wool, silk or cotton — never synthetic fibers. The fibers used in older rugs are colored using natural dyes derived from insects and plants and woven into bold designs that reflect Iran’s culture and history. Since Persian tribes traditionally raised and herded sheep, wool was the most common material. The fiber has many advantages: It is fire-resistant and dries much more quickly than cotton. Also, because of its natural elasticity, it is more durable than cotton or silk. Regarded as works of art, Persian rugs can take months or years to complete.
When shopping for vintage silk Persian rugs, you'll want to consider color, size and more — for a history of these rugs and tips on how to style yours, visit our guide to these woven creations today.
