Qum Silk, Small Medallion, Light Blue x Blue, 29 x 45 cm (ID23039)

When placed on a display shelf or table, a deep red oval medallion appears to float in the center of a gentle light blue field. From the central sun motif to the outer edge, the top and bottom pendants, the four corner spandrels, and the vibrant blue border—this palm-sized piece condenses the entire composition of a Persian rug.

Miniature Medallion of Qom Silk (Oval Lachak Toranj)

This piece is a Qom silk rug, a miniature 29 x 45 cm work that condenses the classical Lachak Toranj composition. The central oval medallion features a deep red field with a purple-blue and multicolored sun motif, vines emerging from the top and bottom pendants, and pink and multicolored semi-circular spandrels in the four corners. Delicate vines and small flowers are scattered across the light blue field, and a vibrant blue border tightens the outline of the design. This piece highlights the craftsmanship of Qom silk, incorporating the same number of design elements as a large rug into a small canvas.

Luster and Intricacy of 100% Silk

Because it is 100% silk, even in its palm-sized form, the details become more apparent the closer you look: the sun motif in the center of the medallion, the vines and small flowers in the field, the spandrels in the four corners, and the intricate floral continuous pattern of the border. The luster of the silk changes with the angle of the light, and the deep red and multiple colors stand out against the clarity of the light blue, truly showcasing the essence of Qom silk.

Ways to Incorporate into Your Life

The miniature size of 29 x 45 cm is perfect for placing on a shoe rack in the entryway, a display shelf, under a vase on a table, on a piano, or framed as an accent in a living room or study. It also makes an ideal gift. The light blue and vibrant blue complement both white walls and wood floors, adding a touch of intricate decoration to any space. This piece is suitable for those who desire a rug that condenses a story into a palm-sized form, different from a large medallion rug.

This is a one-of-a-kind item personally acquired by the owner directly from Qom. You can view the actual luster of the piece, the details of the oval medallion, and the density of the weave in this miniature size in the video. Persian Rug Specialty Store Golestan.
