The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Deccani album pages are illuminated manuscript leaves produced within the sultanates of the Deccan region in central India, such as Bijapur and Golconda. They typically display detailed opaque watercolour portraits framed by expansive, intricate floral borders rendered in gold illumination.

These works were executed on layered handmade paper using opaque watercolours derived from mineral and organic pigments. Pure gold leaf was painstakingly applied with fine brushes to form detailed arabesques, foliage, and decorative margins.

Authentic Deccani works of this era display distinct stylistic traits, including stylized figures, rich jewel-toned background fields, and dense gold floral borders on dark or crimson grounds. Examination under magnification reveals hand-laid paper fibres, natural pigment texture, and historical surface burnishing.

When professionally mounted in UV-protective museum glazing, these framed works serve as refined focal points in library alcoves, corridors, or above low side cabinets. Their rich crimson, black, and gold tones complement dark timber joinery and warm lighting schemes.

Works on paper must be kept away from direct sunlight and framed using acid-free archival mounts and UV-filtering glass. Maintaining stable humidity levels prevents pigment flaking and paper warp over time.
