Ahmadi Workshop Vase Design (Black background with flower bouquet / Goldani) Multicolored x Navy 60x88cm (ID8026)

When hung in an entryway or on a wall, a decorative golden vase rises from the bottom center of a deep navy field, almost black. Roses, dahlias, chrysanthemums, and irises spread out in an oval shape from the mouth of the vase, and the contrast between the deep navy and the vibrant colors creates a scene like a frameless floral painting.

Ahmadi Workshop's Vase Design (Bouquet on a Black Ground / Gol-dani)

This piece is by the Ahmadi Workshop, known for its Qom silk carpets. Among classical "Gol-dani (vase) designs," this work minimizes the border, utilizing the broad, deep navy field (almost black) to place a vase and bouquet as a single picture in the center. The bouquet, rising from the decorative golden vase, densely features a variety of colorful flowers like roses, dahlias, chrysanthemums, irises, and hydrangeas, arranged in an oval shape. At the bottom, the signature cartouche of the weaver, "Hamidreza Ahmadi," is present. This is a realistic Gol-dani with a striking contrast between the deep navy and the vibrant colors.

Luster and Intricacy of 100% Silk

Because it is 100% silk, the intricate details of the vase, the overlapping petals of each flower in the bouquet, the subtle color changes in the leaves, and even every stroke of the signature become visible as you get closer. The luster of the silk changes with the angle of the light, deepening the black ground and making the pinks, reds, and yellows of the flowers stand out—the true essence of Qom silk.

How to Incorporate into Your Home

At 60x88cm, it's a suitable size for an entryway mat, a framed wall decoration, in front of a desk in a study, or beside a bed. The deep navy (almost black) and multicolored bouquet are easy to match with both white walls and wooden floors, adding a dramatic single painting to your space. This piece is ideal for those who enjoy a strong color contrast and a floral narrative like a painting, unlike medallions with more subdued color schemes.

This is a one-of-a-kind item personally acquired by the shop owner directly from the Ahmadi Workshop in Qom. You can see the actual luster, vase decorations, and intricate details of the bouquet in the video. Golestan Persian Carpet Specialty Store.
