Turquoise, not just a color; a signature of the identity and spirit of Iranian architecture!
Have you ever wondered why turquoise is so dominant and decisive in the domes, mosques, and handicrafts of Iran?
Turquoise in Iran goes beyond the blue-green color spectrum; this symbolic color has its roots in the turquoise stone of Neyshabur and carries the deepest cultural and spiritual meanings in Iranian-Islamic civilization.
This color has a powerful and multidimensional personality in our psychology and beliefs. Turquoise is the color that evokes the sky, the divine kingdom, and infinite space; for this reason, it inspires a deep sense of peace, tranquility, and concentration. In popular culture, this color has always symbolized good luck and protection against the evil eye and disaster, and throughout history, it has represented glory, wealth, and nobility in royal jewelry.
Turquoise tiling on domes (such as the dome of Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque or the Soltanieh Dome) symbolically connects the building to the sky and embodies the concept of paradise on earth.
In the authentic art of enameling, turquoise is the dominant color, giving a touch of heavenly softness and brilliance to copper and metal.
Nishapur turquoise, the national gem of Iran, is used as a spiritual talisman and a symbol of beauty, showcasing the authenticity of Iranian art.
