Shamseh in Isfahan Blue
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.
A shamseh — the sunburst medallion Persian artists set at the center of a dome or the opening page of a manuscript — drawn as a flat, modern panel. A twelve-point rosette holds the middle, ringed by a scalloped ochre outline, and the girih geometry radiates outward until it meets a tiled border of stars and arabesque.
- A twelve-point star medallion at the exact center, worked in cobalt, turquoise, brick red and cream
- Concentric bands of interlocking star rosettes, each ring at a different scale
- Corner panels of kite and pentagon tiles, in the manner of Isfahan mosque revetment
- A double border of ochre arabesque running the full square
- The tile palette of Safavid Isfahan: deep blue, turquoise, ochre, oxblood and cream
Perfect for
