About the Item

Persian Textile and Tile Patterns – Vibrant Oriental Motifs, Pl. XXIII Description: This richly colored decorative plate, titled "PERSAN" (Persian), Plate XXIII, is a striking celebration of Persian ornamental art, likely drawn from textile, tile, and manuscript design traditions. Produced in the late 19th century and printed by Firmin-Didot in Paris, this chromolithograph captures the vivid aesthetic of Safavid and Qajar-era Persian craftsmanship, combining botanical elegance with geometric precision. At the center of the composition is a breathtaking floral panel in red, bordered by multicolored bands featuring lotus blossoms, arabesques, and stylized leaf scrolls. The central section resembles a silk carpet or brocade textile—its winding vines, palmettes, and blossoms rendered in brilliant reds, yellows, greens, and blues. The surrounding border designs reflect classical Persian carpet compositions, which combined vibrant color harmonies with natural forms in highly ordered layouts. Flanking the central motif are ten smaller geometric panels, each demonstrating different tiling techniques and repeating Islamic patterns. These sections feature intricate interlacings, star tessellations, hexagons, octagons, and other classical Islamic geometries. Rendered in blues, oranges, reds, and greens, they suggest glazed tilework used on Persian mosques, palaces, and madrasahs, especially in regions like Isfahan, Shiraz, and Kashan. The composition was lithographed by Le Raden and printed by Firmin-Didot Frères, Fils & Cie, Paris. This publisher is best known for its high-quality chromolithographic contributions to works such as Auguste Racinet’s *L'Ornement Polychrome*—a visual encyclopedia of ornament that served 19th-century architects and designers throughout Europe. The plate is a fine example of the 19th-century Orientalist fascination with Islamic art and Persian decorative achievements. Ideal for lovers of historic design, Islamic architecture, or textile arts, this print offers not only a visual feast but also a cultural document. Its combination of naturalistic floral motifs and mathematical precision reflects the Persian philosophy that beauty and order reflect the divine. Condition report: Excellent condition with vibrant original colors. Very light toning to the outer paper edges. No tears, stains, or foxing. A well-preserved and visually stunning example of 19th-century chromolithography. Framing tips: A deep walnut or gold frame paired with a double mat—one in off-white, the other in rich red or forest green—will beautifully complement the saturated tones of this print. Ideal for display in interior spaces seeking a bold, historical, and culturally rich accent. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Lith. par Le Raden; printed by Firmin-Didot Frères, Fils & Cie, Paris, circa 1880s
