NAHAVAND CARPET 203 X 117cm 7’4″ x 3’9″

This captivating Nahavand carpet showcases a striking triple medallion design set against a dramatic deep navy blue to black field that exemplifies the bold tribal aesthetic characteristic of this western Iranian weaving tradition. The composition features three distinctive star-shaped medallions arranged vertically, with the central medallion rendered in vibrant coral-red and turquoise tones, creating a powerful focal point that draws the eye through the carpet’s length.

The rich dark field surrounding the medallions is densely populated with an enchanting array of geometric and stylised motifs including angular peachy-coral coloured birds or leaves positioned symmetrically in the corners, tribal geometric patterns, floral rosettes, and traditional symbols rendered in warm coral, tan, turquoise, and cream tones. The upper and lower sections feature complementary geometric designs with intricate patterns that balance the central medallion, whilst scattered geometric florals and tribal motifs fill the spaces between, creating a lively and authentic tribal composition.

The carpet displays the characteristic Nahavand colour palette with its sophisticated combination of deep navy blues, vibrant coral-reds, warm peachy-orange tones, and striking turquoise accents that create remarkable visual depth and energy. Traditional borders frame the composition with geometric patterns in complementary colours, adding structure to the dynamic central design.

This Nahavand carpet exemplifies the distinctive character of Kurdish tribal weaving from the Hamadan region, combining bold geometric forms with a vibrant colour palette and authentic tribal motifs to create a piece that celebrates the rich weaving heritage of western Iran with exceptional craftsmanship and artistic expression.
