Milmehdi Workshop "Garden of Life" (Butterflies and Birds) Sky Blue x Blue 109x160cm (ID18003)

When hung in a living room or on a wall, a navy diamond medallion appears to float in the center of a pale sky-blue field. Intricate arabesques and countless small flowers cover the entire field, with salmon spandrels in the four corners. The vibrant blue border is woven with butterflies, phoenixes, and swans, revealing detailed creatures as you get closer.

Mirmehdi Workshop "Garden of Life" (Butterfly and Bird Medallion)

This piece is from the Mirmehdi workshop, a renowned producer of Qum silk. At its center is a navy diamond medallion with a colorful sun motif within. Intricate arabesques and countless small flowers are scattered across the pale sky-blue field, and salmon half-circle spandrels adorn the four corners. The vibrant blue border features individually woven creatures such as butterflies (papillon), phoenixes, peacocks, and swans. This rug perfectly balances the splendor of the central medallion with the joy of discovering creatures in the border.

The Luster and Detail of 100% Silk

Because it is 100% silk, the details become apparent as you get closer, from the sun motif in the center of the medallion to each individual small flower scattered across the field, and the wings of the butterflies and swans in the border. The luster of the silk changes with the angle of the light, revealing the subtle variations in sky blue and deep blue, which is the true essence of Qum silk.

How to Integrate into Your Home

Measuring 109x160cm, this rug is the perfect size for a room corner, a long hallway, an accent rug in the living room, or as a wall hanging/framing. The pale sky-blue field and deep blue frame complement both white walls and wood floors, adding a bright and elegant touch to your space, like a spring landscape. This piece is ideal for those who enjoy the fun of discovering creatures in the border, as opposed to medallions with more subdued color schemes.

This is a unique item personally acquired by the shop owner directly from the Mirmehdi workshop in Qum. You can watch a video to see the actual luster, the details of the butterflies and birds, and the brilliance of the medallion. Golestan Persian Carpet Specialty Store.
