Sedighian Workshop Collection

Spread out in the reception room, a large oval medallion emerges from a pale blue ground, with a vase motif inside and golden paisleys (boteh) swaying on either side. A two-tiered border of pink and brown elegantly frames the whole, creating a piece that embodies both softness and dignity.

Sedighian Workshop's Vase Medallion (Goldan & Tranj)

This piece is from the Sedighian Workshop, a powerhouse in Qom silk. It combines the classical "Goldan & Tranj" (vase + medallion) composition with a soft pale blue field and a deep brown border. Inside the central medallion is a vase (goldan) motif, flanked by golden paisleys, and with lachaks (corner designs) in the four corners. The pink inner border further enhances the pale blue, creating a contemporary yet classically dignified color scheme.

The Intricacy and Luster Unique to Silk

Because it is tightly woven with fine 100% silk threads, the vase in the center of the medallion, the paisleys on either side, the lachaks in the four corners, and even the two-tiered pink and brown border are all discernible. The pale blue changes as if breathing with the angle of the light, and the deep, subdued luster of the silk is also an expression unique to silk.

How to Incorporate into Your Home

At 139 x 211 cm, it's the perfect size for a center rug in front of a 2-3 seater sofa, a focal point in a reception room, or under a dining table. The combination of pale blue and brown complements both white walls and wooden floors, adding a serene dignity and softness to the space simultaneously.
