Original Description
The exquisite Levha by Ismail Hakki Altunbezer is a stunning testament to the golden age of Ottoman calligraphy, radiating an air of sacred elegance and refined artistry. Created in the early 20th century by the master calligrapher (whose name translates to "Ismail the Gold-Plated"), this masterpiece embodies the classical Turkish Islamic tradition with its flowing thuluth script and delicate tezhip illuminations. The rich, warm tones of gold leaf dance across velvety indigo backgrounds, creating a mesmerizing rhythm that seems to breathe life into the sacred Qur'anic verses. As one of the last great representatives of the Ottoman calligraphic tradition, Altunbezer's works mark a crucial bridge between classical Islamic art and modern interpretations, with Levha standing as particularly significant for its perfect balance between disciplined form and spiritual expression within the Diwani-Jaly script style, making it highly sought after by museums and collectors of Islamic art.
When displaying Levha in a contemporary space, position it as a dramatic focal point against neutral-toned walls to let its gold illumination radiate fully. In a study or home library, pair it with rich wooden furnishings and traditional Middle Eastern brass accents for harmonious cultural continuity. For modern offices, balance its ornate character with clean-lined furniture in deep navy or charcoal hues that reference its background tones. The optimal viewing distance suggests hanging it in spaces with at least 2 meters of surrounding clearance - entry halls with high ceilings or above fireplace mantels make ideal locations. Consider directional lighting with adjustable spotlights to accentuate the gold leaf's dimensionality during evening hours, while allowing natural light to reveal its intricate details by day. Smaller replicas (approximately 60x90cm) work beautifully in reading nooks, while full-scale original dimensions demand more ceremonial spaces like formal dining rooms or executive suites.
