Hung in an entryway or on a wall, a bouquet of lilies (Zambag) rises from a vase in the center of a deep royal blue field, surrounded by a dense profusion of multicolored small flowers. It is a single rug that depicts a Persian paradise garden like a painting.

Vase Design by Albal Workshop (Lily Bouquet / Zambag Goldani)

This work is by the Albal workshop, known for Qom silk rugs. Among the classical Persian rug "Goldani (vase) designs," this piece features a large vase at the bottom center, from which a bouquet of lilies (Zambag) rises towards the heavens. Countless small flowers are densely clustered around the bouquet, creating a world reminiscent of the Tree of Life (Paradise under the Tree). The border features delicate continuous floral patterns, and the deep royal blue tightens the composition.

The Luster and Detail of 100% Silk

Because it is 100% silk, the details become apparent the closer you look: the ornamentation of the vase, the overlapping petals of the lilies, each tiny flower densely clustered in the field, and the intricate vines of the border. The luster of the silk changes with the angle of the light, revealing the depth of the royal blue and the multicolored small flowers, truly showcasing the essence of Qom silk.
