Handwoven Carpet, Medallion Layout, Wool and Silk on Silk Warp, Mashad, 157 × 250 cm Ref 10300043

This handwoven medallion rug with silk floral highlights, measuring 157 × 250 cm (5'2" × 8'2") with an area of 3.93 m² (42.30 ft²), under the “Baqer Gol Parvar” brand, is a distinguished example of Mashhad carpet art—an eloquent language of Iran’s enduring culture in both form and meaning. With an approximate weaving density of 16,500 knots/dm², it reflects remarkable fineness and miniature-like precision, where each knot emerges from attentive, artful craftsmanship. Crafted with silk highlights across the field and a pure silk warp, the piece offers a singular softness, while the refined sheen of silk lends the colors added clarity, vitality, and depth. The central medallion shines like a radiant sun upon a cream field with a beige border, as if set at the heart of an imagined garden. The flower-and-bird motif nestled within the composition suggests a silent dialogue between the poised flower and the devoted bird—an echo of mystical themes and pure love in Iranian literature and painting. In concert with the medallion-and-corner layout, it produces a balanced and majestic presence.
