Masoud Jamshidi Workshop Runner, Medallion, Salmon Pink x Bordeaux, 47x117cm (ID23012)

When placed in a narrow space, a navy circular medallion and a golden sun motif emerge from the gentle salmon pink ground.

Runner Medallion (Rachak Toranj) from Masoud Jamshidi Workshop

This piece is from the Masoud Jamshidi Workshop, renowned for its Qum silk carpets. This runner size (47 x 117 cm) features a condensed Rachak Toranj composition, characteristic of the Jamshidi family. On a salmon pink ground, a navy circular sun motif medallion is surrounded by yellow cartouches extending from the salrachak above and below, leading to vases (goldani) and intricate arabesques. In the four corners are silhouettes of mosque gates and fawns, and the border is adorned with continuous intricate floral patterns. Weaver's signature cartouches are found at the top and bottom ends.

100% Silk Luster and Detail

Because it is 100% silk, details become visible the closer you look, from the sun motif in the center of the medallion, to the salrachak vases, the mosque gates and fawns in the four corners, and the intricate arabesques in the border. The luster of the silk changes with the angle of the light, and the gentleness of the salmon pink and the depth of the bordeaux alternately emerge, which is the true essence of Qum silk.

How to Incorporate into Your Home

The 47 x 117 cm runner size is perfect as a center runner in a hallway, on top of a shoe cabinet in the entryway, on a counter top, on a piano, as a wall tapestry, or framed as an accent piece in a living room or study. Salmon pink and bordeaux go well with both white walls and wooden floors, adding a delicate touch of narrative to the space. This piece is ideal for those who want to place a story in a long, narrow space, unlike a large medallion.
