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.
Reza Shah cut out of navy against cream, two colors and nothing else. The face is built entirely from negative space — the cream shapes do the work of the light — and only the peaked cap, the aiguillette, the sash cord and a bank of stars and medals are picked out on the tunic. His name sits below in Latin capitals and in Persian.
- A hard-edged two-color silhouette with no line work and no shading
- The peaked military cap with a Lion and Sun badge
- Braided aiguillette, cross-belt and a group of order stars on the chest
- Cream ground with a faint paper texture
- REZA SHAH and رضا شاه set in a band at the foot
The cap belongs to a specific piece of legislation. From 1927 the kolah-e Pahlavi was made compulsory for Iranian men under the Uniform Dress Law, and in 1935 it was abolished in turn in favour of the European brimmed hat. The surname was chosen deliberately too: Reza Khan took Pahlavi in 1925 from the name of the Middle Persian language, reaching past the Qajars to pre-Islamic Iran.
Perfect for
- A study, library or home office
- Modern, minimal interiors and gallery walls
- Iranian households marking the Pahlavi era
- Readers of twentieth-century Iranian history
