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.

A noblewoman sits for her portrait beside the New Year table, painted in the manner of Qajar court oils. She wears a jeweled headpiece with a black aigrette, a blue velvet jacket worked in pearls, and a wide skirt of red and gold silk; behind her the wall is hung with carpets, and the haft-sin is laid on a termeh cloth at her elbow.

  • Qajar portrait conventions throughout — frontal pose, large dark eyes, joined brows, a small painted mouth
  • Pearl and enamel jewellery over a velvet jacket, and a floral silk skirt with patterned borders
  • The haft-sin with sabzeh under a red ribbon, apples, garlic, saffron, vinegar, coins and a goldfish bowl
  • A silver-framed mirror and three lit candles behind the table
  • A carved European armchair and layered carpets, both of them Qajar-era imports into Persian rooms
  • Deep oil-painting color: crimson, indigo, gold and umber

The joined eyebrows are not a flourish. In Qajar portraiture they were a mark of beauty, painted in deliberately, and they are one of the surest ways to date an Iranian picture to the nineteenth century.

Perfect for

  • A Nowruz table or seasonal display
  • Collectors of Qajar and Persian portraiture
  • A living room or study that suits a dark, rich painting
  • Nowruz gifts for family abroad
