THE LABEL ART

This striking label design is drawn from a mid- 19th-century tile from Tehran, Iran—acquired in 1876 by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, as part of a larger collection of “modern tiles” showcasing the stylistic range of interior architecture of that era. Painted in vibrant blue over white, the chevron motif emulates the flowing, feathered edges of silk ikat—an ancient weaving technique prized for its complexity and movement. Though made of earthenware, it evokes the fluidity of fabric, reflecting the artistry and innovation at the heart of Persian design.
