Materials
Fine Art Prints
Premium archival matte fine art paper, 200–230 gsm. Smooth, bright white surface with an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging. Printed with archival inks for accurate color and high-contrast reproduction. FSC-certified sustainable paper.
Framed Prints
Solid wood frame, roughly 0.875″ wide, available in light, black, or white. Protected by shatterproof optical-grade acrylic — lighter and safer than glass, and it ships without risk of breakage. Dry-mounted to foam core with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire installed, ready to hang out of the box.
Production
Every piece is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse — your print is produced after you order it, at the facility closest to your address. That means it reaches you faster, travels less distance, and arrives with a smaller carbon footprint than something shipped from a single central location.
Chelo kabob laid out in a flat mid-century poster style: three skewers stacked across a white plate — joojeh, ridged koobideh and cubes of lamb — over a mound of rice with a pat of butter melting into the saffron on top. Blistered tomatoes sit to one side, basil, raw onion and lime to the other. CHELO KABOB runs across the top and چلو کباب along the bottom.
- Three loaded skewers edge to edge: saffron joojeh, koobideh and lamb
- Plain long-grain rice with a saffron pool and a square of butter
- Two grilled tomatoes, split and charred
- Fresh basil, a wedge of red onion and a slice of lime
- A warm cream and ochre palette on a radiating sunburst ground
The name is precise about the rice. Chelo is rice steamed and served plain alongside, as opposed to polo, where everything is cooked through it — which is why the plate here has a bare white mound with saffron poured over the top rather than anything mixed in. It is the dish Iranian restaurants are built around, and the one usually given as the national dish. The butter goes into the rice while it is still hot, and the sumac shaker is never far away.
Perfect for
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Persian restaurants and kebab houses
- Anyone who grew up on Friday lunches
- Housewarming and food-lover gifts
