Nikukaru Studio Royal Blue Medallion 60x94cm (ID23016)

When laid at the entrance, a golden rosette medallion appears to float in the middle of a royal blue field. Upon closer inspection, small deer, camels, birds, and mythical creatures are woven into the four corners and the blank spaces of the field, making the entire rug a stage for an idyllic ancient Persian story.

Medallion with Dancing Animals from the Nikkal Workshop

Among Qom silk rugs, this workshop is known for its unique design, featuring animal motifs from ancient Persia scattered within a traditional medallion composition. A golden rosette medallion is placed on a deep royal blue ground, with lamp-shaped pendants hanging above and below it. Small deer, camels, birds, and mythical creatures are scattered within the lachaks (corner patterns) in the four corners and in the blank spaces of the field, evoking the ancient Persian paradise and scenes of royal hunts.

Intricacy and Luster Unique to Silk

Because it is made of 100% fine silk threads, you can discern the overlapping petals of the rosettes, the horns and wings of small animals, and even the outlines of the pendants. Depending on the angle of the light, the royal blue becomes deeper, and the gold gently shimmers.

How to Incorporate It into Your Life

At 60x94cm, this is the perfect size for an entranceway, bedside, a center rug next to a sofa, or framed as a wall hanging. The deep blue is easy to match with both white walls and wood floors, adding a quiet focal point to the space.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece personally selected by the shop owner at a workshop in Qom. You can see the actual luster and detailed animal designs in the video. Golestan Persian Carpet Specialty Store.
