THE SANG-E-SIAH NEIGHBORHOOD

Description

This publication is a definitive tribute to the vanishing architectural soul of one of Iran’s most historic districts, the Sang-e-Siah neighborhood in Shiraz. Author Salman Goorangi and editor Hamid Kooros document the transition of traditional decorative arts across the Zand, Qajar, and Pahlavi eras. Central to the work is the mastery of Shiraz seven-color (Haft Rang) tiles, detailing specialized molding, firing, and traditional dye-making techniques. The book provides a rare technical record of endangered decorative historical wooden ceiling craft techniques, in addition to a biography of Master Mirza Abdol Razzoq. Introduced by a moving foreword recounting a familial design inheritance, this publication bridges personal memory and scholarly preservation. It is an essential resource for collectors and historians dedicated to the enduring legacy of Persian craftsmanship and culture.
