December 13, 2012 § 2 Comments
This stunning door can be found at Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque in Imam Square, Isfahan, Iran. Initially built as a private mosque of the royal court, construction of this exceptional example of Safavid Iranian architecture began in 1603 and was completed in 1618. It is now a registered UNESCO world heritage site.

The traditional Iranian tiles match color and complexity with the simple and bold. It is a lovely demonstration of mixing graphic patterns in a cohesive manner. The worn wood adds a touch of warmth; simply gorgeous.

I really like this. The color added with the patterns make it look inviting.
Hi laramindy, thank you for your comment. I think the pattern and color are great as well, and to think this was created in the early 17th century!
