{"product_id":"lapis-frontispiece-safavid-illumination-wallpaper","title":"The Lapis Frontispiece — Safavid Illumination Wallpaper","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe opening page of a royal manuscript, raised to the scale of a wall. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Lapis Frontispiece\u003c\/strong\u003e is drawn after \u003cem\u003etazhib\u003c\/em\u003e, the art of illumination that framed the first pages of Safavid books in sixteenth-century Tabriz, Qazvin and Isfahan, where gold and ground lapis lazuli were the most precious colours a painter could use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Aesthetic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is built the way an illuminator built a page. A framework of lobed medallions and cusped cartouches interlocks across the wall, each one mirrored left to right. Inside them two layers of ornament run at once: spiralling gold vines (\u003cem\u003eislimi\u003c\/em\u003e) ending in split palmettes, and beneath them a finer scroll of lotus, peony and rosette blossoms (\u003cem\u003ekhatai\u003c\/em\u003e). Ivory cloud bands drift through the lapis ground and narrow turquoise bands outline every medallion. From across a room it reads as one rich field of blue and gold; up close, every blossom comes forward. It is at its best where a room deserves one decisive gesture — a fireplace wall, a dining room, a hotel reception, or a vaulted or coffered ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interlocking illuminated medallions with gold arabesque scrolls, floral scrolls and cloud bands, after Safavid manuscript illumination (tazhib).
