A broad visual sourcebook of Persian decorative motifs
Ali Dowlatshahi assembles 400 Persian-inspired motifs for use as visual reference and creative material. The collection ranges from floral forms, rosettes, paisleys, and palmettes to geometric patterns, arabesques, medallions, scrollwork, and border decorations. Mythical creatures and hunting scenes expand the selection beyond purely abstract ornament, while marginal designs and repeating elements make the volume relevant to projects that need framing or surface pattern. With its emphasis on individual motifs rather than a single extended subject, the book functions as a compact archive of decorative forms to adapt, study, or combine.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Artists seeking Persian-inspired ornamental reference
- Crafters working with borders, repeating patterns, and surface decoration
- Designers interested in floral, geometric, and arabesque motifs
