When placed in a living room, a vibrant scarlet hexagonal medallion floats on a brilliant cobalt blue field, with cream-colored spandrels (lachak) extending from all four corners.

Khorasan Medallion (Hexagonal and Village Patterns)

This is a hand-woven piece from the Khorasan region of eastern Persia. Unlike the splendor of Qom silk, it boasts the unique rustic and powerful expression characteristic of Khorasan. A deep red hexagonal medallion is placed at the center, with small octagons (gol-like) and intricate floral patterns layered within it. The wide cobalt blue field creates a deep, calming hue, and the octagonal patterns and small flowers scattered within the cream-colored spandrels in the four corners convey the warmth of village craftsmanship.

Wool & Silk Thickness and Luster

The combination of wool and silk achieves both a plump thickness and intricate decorative lines. The matte feel of the wool and the subtle sheen of the silk change their appearance with the angle of the light. The vibrant cobalt blue, deep red, and cream color contrast harmonize beautifully with the luster of the yarn in this piece.
