About the Item
This is a finely hand-painted Persian miniature artwork on a ceramic/porcelain box, probably made of leg plates, framed, and painted. The work features an extremely fine painting on the hinge cover, with a multi-figure scene in polychrome colors and gold, further embellished with floral ornamentation along the sides.
The central scene depicts a traditional musical gathering in a garden setting, a classic subject in Persian art. Six elegantly dressed men in flowing robes are seated beneath a tree, surrounded by natural scenery. Each figure is engaged in music and poetry — one plays the lute (oud/barbat), another the setar, while others accompany with the ney (flute) and daff (frame drum). The musicians are depicted with serene expressions, embodying themes of conviviality, artistry, and spiritual companionship, often linked with Sufi mysticism and Persian literary culture.
The painting demonstrates exquisite detail, with delicate brushwork highlighting facial features, intricate textile patterns, and the fine rendering of musical instruments. Natural elements such as the tree, rocks, and greenery are painted in the refined tradition of Safavid and Qajar miniature styles, while the use of gold adds depth and richness. A still-life arrangement of fruits is placed in front of the musicians, symbolizing abundance, beauty, and the joy of shared moments.
Signed in Persian script, likely with the surname “Sahraeian”, suggesting attribution to an Iranian artist. It adds uniqueness and collectible value.
This artwork is a rare example of modern Persian miniature painting adapted onto a ceramic surface, making it an exceptional decorative panel, collectible object, or gift for lovers of Persian art and culture. It is suitable for both framing or standalone display.
