Ari Bahram Studio Paradise Beneath the Sea (Ocean) Blue 60x92cm (ID25023)

When laid at the entrance, this rug transforms the space into an underwater paradise, where dolphins swim in a deep blue ocean, colorful tropical fish dance around them, and vibrant coral reefs surround them on all sides. It's a picturesque piece, with light filtering from the water's surface, and the undulating flow of water, palpable in the sheen of the silk.

Ali Bahram Workshop's Underwater Pictorial (Ocean)

This piece is from the Ali Bahram workshop, which pursues its own unique artistry even among Qum silk producers. Instead of the classic medallion composition, this is a pictorial rug that weaves the life of the seabed directly into the carpet. In the center are dolphins and striped fish, surrounded by vibrant coral reefs on all sides, with tropical fish swimming between them. It's a piece that transcends the boundaries of Persian rugs, made possible by the fine threads and advanced dyeing techniques of Qum silk.

The Intricacy and Luster Unique to Silk

Because it's made from 100% fine silk threads, you can discern the subtle gradations on the dolphin's body, the overlapping branches of coral, the striped patterns of tropical fish, and even the shimmering light filtering through the water. Depending on the angle of the light, the blue sea deepens, and the vibrant colors of the coral and fish emerge—a characteristic expression unique to silk.

How to Incorporate It into Your Life

The 60x92cm size is perfect as an entrance mat, a wall hanging, or framed as a centerpiece for your living room or study. It's also a delightful and special gift for ocean and diving enthusiasts, and it pairs well with blue-themed spaces or as an accent in a child's room.

This is a one-of-a-kind item selected by the owner at the workshop in Qum. You can watch a video to see the actual luster, the intricacy of the dolphins, tropical fish, and coral, and the watery expressions rendered by the silk. Golestan Persian Rugs Specialist Store.
