Furuzan Workshop Painting Medallion Emerald 61x94cm (ID25011)

When laid at the entrance, a vibrant emerald green background reveals an ornate gold medallion, and upon closer inspection of the four corners, you'll discover miniature depictions woven in, such as a procession of elephants, a horse-mounted rider, chickens, and a small castle. It's a rug like a painting, embedding a story within a classical composition.

The Pictorial Medallion of Furuzan Workshop

This piece is from the Furuzan workshop, known for its unique weaving among Qom silk rugs. While retaining the classical framework of "Lachak o Toranj" (medallion + four corners), the four corner sections (Lachak) incorporate scenes from miniature painting instead of the usual arabesque decoration. There's a procession of elephants, a rider and horse, chickens, fruit trees, and an architectural element resembling a small palace. The central medallion has a wavy outline, with a gold rosette and intricate floral patterns inside. It's a pictorial rug that brings a story to a classical composition.

Rare Emerald Green

Such a vivid green is rare in Persian rugs, and green has traditionally symbolized "paradise" and "prosperity." Both the ground and the border are uniformly green, and the luster of the silk deepens with the angle of the light. It pairs well with houseplants and wooden furniture, adding a fresh vitality to the space.

The Intricacy and Luster Unique to Silk

Because it's 100% silk with fine threads, you can discern even the tips of the elephants' feet in the corners, the outline of the rider, the chicken's feathers, and the arch of the castle. The more you look, the more new discoveries you'll make; it's a rug meant to be enjoyed up close.

How to Incorporate it into Your Life

At 61x94cm, it's the perfect size for an entrance mat, wall hanging, or framed as a centerpiece in your living room or study. Emerald green complements both white walls and wooden floors, adding a fresh focal point to the space.
