NANAJ CARPET 218 X 163 CM 7’3″x 5’4″

This captivating Nanaj carpet showcases a striking all-over floral design set against a dramatic deep navy blue to black field that exemplifies the bold aesthetic characteristic of this distinguished Persian tribal weaving tradition from the Hamadan region. The composition features an enchanting array of stylised floral motifs, palmettes, and botanical elements rendered in vibrant coral-red, warm peachy-orange, and cream tones that create a lively garden-like atmosphere across the entire surface.

The rich dark field is densely populated with traditional Nanaj motifs including large floral rosettes, graceful curving vines, stylised leaves, and geometric patterns that flow organically throughout the composition. The central area displays a subtle vertical arrangement of larger floral medallions that provide structure to the design, whilst countless smaller blossoms and botanical elements fill the surrounding spaces, demonstrating the weaver’s exceptional skill in creating balanced yet dynamic compositions. The warm coral and peachy tones stand out beautifully against the deep navy ground, creating remarkable visual depth and energy.

This runner-format carpet is framed by traditional borders featuring a warm terracotta-red ground adorned with complementary floral rosettes, geometric patterns, and tribal motifs in harmonious colours. The multiple guard borders provide elegant finishing detail whilst perfectly complementing the bold central design.

This Nanaj carpet exemplifies the distinctive character of Persian tribal weaving from western Iran, combining dramatic colour contrasts with vibrant floral artistry and authentic tribal craftsmanship to create a piece that celebrates the rich heritage of Hamadan region weaving with exceptional skill and artistic vision.
