Mohammad Jamshidi Workshop Vegetable-Dyed Medallion (Deer and Paradise) Gold x Green 73 x 127cm (ID11005)

When hung in an entryway or on a wall, a gold diamond medallion appears to float in the center of a deep green frame, with flowers, trees, a pair of deer, and a pair of arched gates depicted on the spandrels at the four corners and top and bottom. Various small scenes unfold on the green ground, revealing the story of a paradise garden as you approach.

Mohammad Jamshidi Workshop Botanical-Dyed Medallion (Deer and Paradise Garden)

This is a silk piece dyed with botanical dyes, a technique continued only by the Mohammad Jamshidi workshop, the main lineage of the Jamshidi family, among Qom silk carpets. It features deep, clear greens, earthy reds, and gentle golden browns that cannot be achieved with chemical dyes. The overall harmony, despite the use of many colors, is due to the natural resonance of the botanical dyes. In the center is a gold diamond medallion with a small sun emblem inside. The deep green spandrels on the outside are woven with flowers, trees, a pair of deer, and a pair of arched gates at the top, forming a paradise garden composition reminiscent of Persian miniature paintings.

The Luster and Detail of 100% Silk

Because it is 100% silk, details become visible as you get closer, from the sun emblem in the center of the medallion to the flowers and deer in the spandrels, the pillars of the arched gates, and the intricate vines in the border. The luster of the silk changes with the angle of the light on each surface, with the gold center and deep green surroundings appearing to float. This piece embodies the true essence of Qom silk, expressed through botanical dyeing.

How to Incorporate It into Your Life

Measuring 73x127cm, it is a suitable size for a wide entryway mat, a framed wall hanging, in front of a desk in a study, or beside a bed. The gold center and deep green frame complement both white walls and wood floors, adding a narrative single painting to the space. This piece is suitable for those who want to enjoy a story like a painting, unlike medallions with more understated color schemes.
