Framed Miniature Painting Royal Camp Scene Qajar Style Hand-Painted Illustration
Located in Wembley, GB
Framed Persian Style Miniature Painting, Royal Camp Scene, Qajar Style, Hand-Painted An exquisite Persian style miniature painting depicting a royal camp scene with courtiers, riders, and attendants set amid lush flowering trees and rolling landscapes. Finely executed in gouache and gold on paper, this elegant composition captures the refinement of Qajar-period artistry and the poetic spirit of Persian manuscript illumination. The painting showcases vibrant tones of lapis blue, emerald, rose, and gold, with intricate attention to costume and gesture. The figures are rendered in delicate linework, framed within a traditional border, and presented in a gilded wooden frame with cream mount perfect for both classical and contemporary interiors. Such scenes often illustrate stories from the Shahnameh (Book of Kings) or courtly romances of West Asian literature, symbolizing love, travel, and divine beauty. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The painting remains vivid; minor toning to the mat consistent with age. Frame in very good condition. Dimensions (gold material framed): Height: 35 cm Width: 25 cm Persian miniature painting, Qajar art, Iranian miniature, Islamic manuscript...

New and Vintage Plastic Furniture and Decor

Arguably the world’s most ubiquitous man-made material, plastic has impacted nearly every industry. In contemporary spaces, new and vintage plastic furniture is quite popular and its use pairs well with a range of design styles.

From the Italian lighting artisans at Fontana Arte to venturesome Scandinavian modernists such as Verner Panton, who created groundbreaking interiors as much as he did seating — see his revolutionary Panton chair — to contemporary multidisciplinary artists like Faye Toogood, furniture designers have been pushing the boundaries of plastic forever.

When The Graduate's Mr. McGuire proclaimed, “There’s a great future in plastics,” it was more than a laugh line. The iconic quote is an allusion both to society’s reliance on and its love affair with plastic. Before the material became an integral part of our lives — used in everything from clothing to storage to beauty and beyond — people relied on earthly elements for manufacturing, a process as time-consuming as it was costly.

Soon after American inventor John Wesley Hyatt created celluloid, which could mimic luxury products like tortoiseshell and ivory, production hit fever pitch, and the floodgates opened for others to explore plastic’s full potential. The material altered the history of design — mid-century modern legends Charles and Ray Eames, Joe Colombo and Eero Saarinen regularly experimented with plastics in the development of tables and chairs, and today plastic furnishings and decorative objects are seen as often indoors as they are outside.
