Furuzan Workshop Diamond Medallion (Little Animal Field) Dark Brown x Multi 60x94cm (ID23040)

When hung in an entryway or on a wall, a yellow and purple diamond medallion appears to float in the deep dark brown ground. From the central sunburst to the outer edge, the entire ground is filled with vines and countless small flowers, and the border depicts a continuous scene of deer, lions, and peacocks in silhouette.

Fouladzan Workshop's Diamond Medallion (Field of Small Animals and Lion)

This piece is by the Fouladzan Workshop, known for its Qum silk rugs. It features a diamond medallion in the center with a yellow and purple sunburst inside, paired spandrels above and below, and small scenes (small animals and miniature buildings) in the four corners. The dark brown ground is adorned with intricate vines and countless small flowers, the border has a continuous multi-colored floral pattern, and the narrow bands at the top and bottom edges are woven with silhouettes of deer, lions, and peacocks. This rug combines classical Lachak-Toranj with elements of animal paintings and paradise gardens.

The Luster and Detail of 100% Silk

Because it's 100% silk, the closer you get, the more details you can see, from the sunburst in the center of the medallion to the hidden vines and small flowers in the ground, the animal silhouettes in the border, and the small scenes in the four corners. The luster of the silk changes with the angle of the light, and the yellow, purple, and red accents emerge from the depth of the dark brown, showcasing the true essence of Qum silk.

How to Incorporate it into Your Home

At 60x94cm, this rug is suitable as an entryway mat, framed wall decoration, in front of a desk in a study, or beside a bed. The deep dark brown ground complements both white walls and wooden floors, adding a profound narrative to the space. This piece is ideal for those who appreciate the contrast of multiple colors emerging from a dark ground, as opposed to a medallion with more subdued colors, and who want to enjoy the story of the animal field.

This is a unique item personally acquired by the owner directly from the Fouladzan Workshop in Qum. You can see the actual luster of the rug, the details of the medallion, and the animals in the border in the video. Golestan Persian Rug Specialty Store.
