This fine item from the famous Persian workshop origin of Nain provides a definitive example of this sought-after and sophisticated type. The graceful balance of the main medallion composition, the high definition of the drawing and the fluency with which the secondary floral and foliate elements have been organised, all point to a Nain of high merit. The totally distinctive Nain palette of delicate, closely harmonised dye shades delicately echoes the design and its meticulous expression.
