Antique Persian papier mache lacquer pen box QalamdanA very fine Persian lacquer papermache pen box (Qalamdan)
The painted decoration consisting of the gul-o-bulbul (rose and nightingale) is one of the most iconic and celebrated motifs in Persian lacquer art, particularly found on the traditional qalamdan (pen case). Popularised during the Safavid era and reaching its absolute peak during the Qajar period (1785–1925), this motif transforms a practical writing tool into a highly prized luxury status symbol.
