Descrição do livro

Persian Art: A journey through an enduring tradition of beauty and craft. This book surveys the long history of Persian art, from ancient monuments to more recent works, and explains how design, color, and technique have shaped daily objects, textiles, metalwork, and ceramics. It highlights how Persia absorbed and refined influences while maintaining a distinct, self‑controlled style that persists to this day.


Readers will discover how Persian art developed through eras of empire and conquest, the impact of religious and cultural shifts, and the regional centers known for specific crafts. The text connects architectural relics, like Persepolis, with later metalwork, enamel, embroidery, and painting, demonstrating a continuum of skilled craftsmanship across time. It also explains how trade, exchange with China, and the Arabic world influenced forms and motifs, yet never erased a uniquely Persian sensibility.



    • Insights into damascened steel, brass, and copper work, with explanations of techniques and finishes.

    • Examples of needlework, embroidery, and textile production from key Persian centers.

    • Discussion of porcelain and earthenware, and how these materials traveled through Persia via trade routes.

    • Overviews of painting, wood carving, enamel, jewellery, and other crafts that reveal regional strengths.


    Ideal for readers of art history, museum visitors, and anyone curious about how Persian artisans shaped everyday objects into enduring works of beauty.


    Persian Art.
