FAQs

The Qajar era in Iran, spanning from the late 18th to the early 20th century, experienced a significant revival in traditional tilework and pottery, frequently featuring narrative scenes, royal figures, and vibrant polychrome glazes inspired by earlier Persian dynasties.

These pieces were typically crafted from soft earthenware clay, hand-painted with metallic oxide pigments under a silica-based glaze, and fired in traditional kilns to achieve their characteristic glossy finish and rich colour palette.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining the composition of the clay body, the presence of crazing within the glaze, hand-painted brushwork inconsistencies, and mortar or plaster remnants on the reverse side indicating original architectural installation.

Antique tiles are frequently mounted on custom metal stands for tabletop display, framed as wall art, or incorporated directly into architectural features such as fireplace surrounds to introduce historical depth and texture.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, and cleaning only with a soft, dry cloth while refraining from the use of water, chemical solvents, or abrasive cleaners on fragile historic glazes.
