Beautiful Quran Page from 1800s Qajar, Iran

Presenting a stunning Quran folio from the Qajar period in 19th-century Iran, showcasing the Quran as demonstrated through the refined craftsmanship and artistic brilliance of this celebrated era. This Arabic manuscript is beautifully handwritten on watermarked paper, featuring 17 lines of black naskh script delicately set against a backdrop of gold clouds, making each verse stand out in elegant contrast. The use of red diacritic marks adds a vivid touch, ensuring the correct pronunciation of the verses, while the reminding words are inscribed in black ink, helping the reader maintain focus on the recitation. The page is double sided with portions from the same Qur'anic chapter.

Each verse is meticulously separated by exquisite gold roundels, adding a sense of rhythm and grace to the overall composition. The text is framed within a broad gold border lined with double black lines, accentuating the majestic feel of the manuscript. Additionally, the folio features marginal borders in double black lines, further enhancing its beauty and historical value.
