Milmehdi Workshop Kings and Queens Hunting Scene, Sea Green, 98 x 146cm (ID9003)

When laid on the floor, the rug depicts a scene of a king and queen riding white horses through a sea-green field, surrounded by mounted hunters chasing deer and gazelles. A closer look reveals finely detailed individual scenes: figures drawing bows, brandishing swords, running dogs, and birds soaring through the sky. It is as if a Persian royal hunting scroll has been unfurled on a single rug.

Hunting Scene with King and Queen by Mir Mehdi Workshop

This piece reimagines the "Shekargar" hunting scenes favored by ancient Persian royalty, weaving in a narrative about a king and queen. The king and queen on their white horses are placed in the center, surrounded by mounted hunters, with finely woven deer, gazelles, dogs, beasts, and birds. The calming sea-green ground color further enhances the hues of the characters' costumes.

Shading and Luster Unique to Wool & Silk

This work is woven not solely from silk, but from a combination of cork wool and silk. The subdued texture of wool coexists with the delicate luster of silk, giving natural shading to the characters' costumes and the horses' manes. This rug achieves both the durability required for a floor covering and the detailed expression unique to silk.

How to Incorporate into Your Life

Measuring 98 x 146 cm, it is the perfect size for a living room center rug, next to a sofa, as the focal point of a bedroom, or framed as a wall hanging. Its narrative and pictorial composition makes it ideal for placement where it can be viewed closely, allowing you the pleasure of tracing each expression of the mounted hunters and running beasts.
