Medallion and Vase Corners by Albal Workshop

This piece is from the Albal Workshop, known for its intricate weaving among Qum rugs. A large oval medallion is placed on a green field, with a sunburst-shaped radial structure inside. The field is filled with delicate floral patterns, and roses blooming from large vases (gordaan) are depicted in the four corners. Furthermore, a Persian inscription is woven into the border, preserving the mark of the workshop and the weaver. This is a piece that adds depth and narrative to the classic medallion composition.

Intricacy and Luster Unique to Silk

Because it is made of 100% fine silk threads, you can discern the radial pattern of the medallion, the details of the vases in the four corners, and even the characters of the inscription in the border. The way the green subtly changes its expression depending on the angle of the light is also unique to silk.

Among Qum rugs, this workshop specializes in refreshing turquoise grounds and high-density medallions.

Only with 100% fine silk threads can one discern the overlapping petals of the rosette, each tiny white flower in the field, and even the fine gold lines of the vines in the border. The turquoise shimmers with the angle of the light, and the blue and gold stand out.
