Original Description
Levha by Prince Abdul Mejid is a mesmerizing Ottoman calligraphic masterpiece that exudes spiritual elegance and imperial grandeur. Created in the 19th century by the multi-talented Ottoman prince (later Sultan Abdulmejid I), this artwork represents the golden age of Islamic calligraphy during the Tanzimat reform period. The composition typically features flowing thuluth script in gold leaf against deep indigo or black backgrounds, with delicate floral illumination framing sacred texts or poetry. As one of the finest examples of royal Ottoman calligraphy, it bridges traditional Islamic art with emerging Western influences at the time - the prince having received both classical Islamic education and exposure to European art. The work's significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also as a cultural artifact documenting the refined taste of the late Ottoman elite. Its balanced rhythm between bold strokes and airy negative space creates a meditative quality that still captivates viewers today.
For contemporary spaces, Levha makes a striking statement piece in studies or formal seating areas. Its vertical format (typically 100-150cm tall) suits placement above consoles in entryways or as a focal point in library walls, ideally with 150-170cm viewing height. The rich gold-and-navy palette pairs beautifully with walnut wood furniture and brass accents in traditional interiors, while crisp white walls provide ideal contrast in modern settings. In offices, position it behind the desk to project sophistication, ensuring proper gallery lighting (2700K LED picture lights work best) to enhance the gilding. Smaller reproductions (60x90cm) can anchor reading nooks when grouped with Ottoman-inspired textiles. The artwork's spiritual resonance makes it particularly fitting for meditation spaces when displayed alongside minimalist iron lanterns and neutral wool rugs, creating a serene environment that honors its heritage.
