...Traced from decorative tilework on a building in Isfahan, in 1877. A series of 39 designs was commissioned on behalf of the V&A (then the South Kensington Museum), in order to record this astonishing aspect of the sacred architecture of Safavid Iran, rendered in full scale and in colour. Robert Murdoch Smith and Ernst Hoeltzer, both of whom worked for the Anglo-Persian Telegraph Department, hired a team of Isfahani contractors to produce the paintings, which required "light scaffolding and other mechanical appliances" to reach difficult areas. The designs are painted onto sized paper fixed onto plain canvas, and show the tiled surfaces of walls, window-panels, arches, rib-vaults and even domes, copied from six different religious monuments. The decorative repertoire features a characteristic range of flowers, foliate scrollwork, ogival medallions and lobed cartouches, usually set against a blue background. Although the project was discussed as the documentation of historic Safavid architectural design from the early 17th century, one of the surveyed monuments was very much contemporary: the Masjid-e Sayyid which was built for a powerful landowning family of clerics, known as the Agayan-e Masjid-e Shah.

Epic Iran
(May - September 2021)
Epic Iran explores 5,000 years of Iranian art, design and culture, bringing together over 300 objects from ancient, Islamic and contemporary Iran.
Iran was home to one of the great historic civilisations, yet its monumental artistic achievements remain unknown to many. Epic Iran explores this civilisation and the country's journey into the 21st century, from the earliest known writing – signalling the beginning of history in Iran – through to the 1979 Revolution and beyond. Ranging from sculpture, ceramics and carpets, to textiles, photography and film, the works in this exhibition reflect the country's vibrant historic culture, architectural splendours, the abundance of myth, poetry and tradition that have been central to Iranian identity for millennia, and the evolving, self-renewing culture evident today.

Tilework in the portico of a house dating from 1903. Identical panels are to be found in the portico of its neighbour, Verbindingstraat 7, and that of Van Ostadestraat 276, just around the corner (in all cases on both sides of the portico), but not all have been preserved as well as this one. All these house are part of an architectural unit, also comprising adjacent houses in Kuipersstraat.

Drinking-fountain at the western entrance of the park (facing Eerste Jan van der Heijdenstraat). Near the eastern entrance there is a fountain of the same model, but without tilework. I will be grateful if anyone can give information about the tilework.
Both fountains are removed during the winter.

A stylishly executed health message in a confident Moderne typeface in classic monochrome. This fishmonger's on the busy High Street in Hawick is a gem of 1930s shop design.
The importance of tilework in Persian architecture arises from two important factors; first the need to weatherproof the simple clay bricks used in construction, and secondly the need to ornament the buildings.The colours used were blue, yellow, turquoise, pink, aubergine and green.
The Times Square stop on the Broadway Line features mosaic tilework demonstrating the street of the stop, circa 1918.
"Ouderdom" [Old Age]. One of two Art-Nouveau pieces of tilework in the portico by an unknown artist. At the bottom, near the right-hand corner, the name of earthenware factory "De Distel" in Amsterdam. Date unknown, but not before 1903 (when the house was constructed) and not after 1923 (when the factory was taken over). For its counterpart, go here.
Tilework on a shop in the St Michel district of Bordeaux, executed 2005 by Michel Henault of Arcachon. Presumably the shop was originally a pharmacy, though it now sells Moroccan caftans.
