Medallion and Arabesque by Mir Mehedi Workshop

This is a work from the Mir Mehedi workshop, known for its delicate weaving even among Qum rugs. A central medallion and four corner "lachaks" (corner emblems) are arranged on a deep, dark red (ruby) field, with "eslimi" (flowing curvilinear vines) and multicolored floral patterns densely woven throughout the entire field. The border features a series of small, circular medallions, which emphasize the movement of the field. This piece is a typical example of the classic medallion + arabesque composition, finished in a deep reddish-purple hue.

The Intricacy and Sheen Unique to Silk

Because of the fine 100% silk threads, every detail of the medallion, the vines in the field, and the small medallions in the border can be discerned. The way the deep red subtly changes its expression with the angle of the light is also unique to silk.
