Persian Designs
Pepin Press

Persia had a distinct tradition of ornamental design, setting it apart from other countries in the region. While sharing with them an interest in geometric patterns and ornate calligraphy, the visual language of Persian design is special in its emphasis on the natural world and its treatment of figurative elements, such as birds and other animals. Persian Designs showcases a diverse collection, ranging from simple and elegant elements to complex and highly ornate interlocking patterns.
