Original Description
The Levha by Mehmed Hulusi Yazgan is a mesmerizing fusion of Ottoman calligraphy tradition and modern artistic expression. Created in the late 19th or early 20th century, this masterpiece exemplifies the hilye genre - delicate compositions featuring descriptions of Prophet Muhammad’s attributes in exquisite Arabic calligraphy. The artwork shimmers with gold-leaf accents against deep blue or black backgrounds, creating a celestial atmosphere where swirling thuluth and naskh scripts appear to float like divine revelations. Yazgan’s work represents the pinnacle of Ottoman decorative arts during the Tanzimat reform period, when traditional Islamic art forms engaged with Western influences. These levha panels were highly prized as both spiritual objects and artistic achievements, bridging devotional practice with aesthetic appreciation. Today, they’re treasured as cultural heritage that preserves the Ottoman empire’s calligraphic sophistication.
For contemporary spaces, this artwork would create a striking focal point in a study, entryway, or executive office with classical or eclectic decor. Position it in well-lit areas where gilded details can catch the light, ideally against neutral walls (cream, taupe, or slate gray) that allow its rich blues and golds to dominate. A generous 80x60cm reproduction would command attention without overwhelming mid-sized rooms. Pair it with oriental carpets featuring similar deep reds or blues, and complement with brass or dark wood furniture to echo its traditional materials. In minimalist settings, it provides a dramatic contrast when framed in simple black or giltwood. For proper viewing, hang at eye-level (approximately 145-150cm from floor to center) in spaces intended for contemplation - avoiding cluttered walls or competing artworks nearby to honor its spiritual gravitas.
