Mir Mehdi Workshop Eight Paradises Dome Pattern Cream x Mocha 142x228cm (ID22004)

Placed in front of a sofa, a large concentric dome emerges from a cream background, with roses blooming within diamond panels. An octagonal star is at the center, blue arch decorations are in the corners, and the outer edge is bordered by mocha and vermilion. It's a bright and expansive scene.

Hasht Behesht (Eight Paradises) from Milmehdi Workshop

This piece is from the Milmehdi Workshop, known for its expertise in the geometric composition of dome patterns (Gombadi) among Qom silk carpets. Adopting the Hasht Behesht composition, which means "Eight Paradises" in Persian, it expands from an octagonal star in the center with rows of rose patterns in diamond panels. This bright-toned piece depicts the cream background as the sky and the pink roses as the flowers of paradise.

The Intricacy and Luster Unique to Silk

Because it is made of fine 100% silk threads, every rose in each diamond panel, the border of the octagonal star, the blue arch decorations in the corners, and the delicate geometric patterns of the border are discernible. The cream takes on a greater luster with the angle of the light, and the pink of the roses and accents of blue emerge—an expression unique to silk.

How to Incorporate It into Your Home

At 142x228cm, it's the perfect size for a center rug in front of a three-seater sofa, a focal point in a reception room, or under a dining table. The combination of cream and mocha is easy to match with both white walls and wooden floors, adding bright distinction to your space.

This is a one-of-a-kind item chosen by the owner at a workshop in Qom. You can see the actual luster, the intricacy of the geometric composition, and the shades of the roses in the video. Golestan, a specialty store for Persian carpets.
