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.
Farah Pahlavi in her coronation crown, drawn as street art and lit magenta and cyan against a graffitied brick wall. She sits with hands folded on a desk in a paisley robe with a fur collar, the crown's emeralds and pearls picked out jewel by jewel, and a cyan neon sign spells شهبانو above her with SHAHBANU in green neon below.
- The coronation crown in white gold with a large emerald at its centre
- Emerald drop earrings, a diamond and emerald collar, and a ring on her right hand
- A boteh paisley robe trimmed with white fur
- The Lion and Sun sprayed in gold on the wall behind her shoulder
- An ashtray, keys and scattered papers along the neon-lit desk edge
She trained as an architect. Farah Diba was studying at the École Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris when she met the Shah, and the interest never left her — as Shahbanu she drove the building of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, which opened in 1977 and whose collection of Picasso, Pollock, Rothko, Bacon and Warhol is still reckoned the most valuable holding of Western modern art anywhere outside Europe and North America. It is still in Tehran.
Perfect for
- Bars, studies and dark-walled rooms
- Street art and neon-poster collectors
- Gallery walls of iconic women
- Iranians abroad
