A LARGE ILLUMINATED QURAN, QAJAR, 19TH CENTURY

A 19th-century Qajar Quran features elaborate, illuminated pages framed by intricate geometric and floral designs typical of Persian manuscript artistry. The manuscript opens with a beautifully decorated double-page spread with vivid gold, blue, and red tones. The script is written in clear, bold calligraphy, framed within elegant borders, with side panels in many sections for commentary or recitations.
