Farvahar Wall Plate in Hand-Engraved Copper
This 25cm Farvahar wall plate places one of the most beloved symbols of Persian heritage at the centre of your home. The Farvahar (فروهر) is hand-engraved into copper by our artists using ghalamzani, the traditional Persian craft of chasing and embossing metal. Weighing around 500g and finished in silver or black tones, it reads beautifully as a copper wall plate, whether hung on a wall or displayed on a stand.
Farvahar Art with Meaning
This Farvahar copper plate carries the guiding principles of good thoughts (پندار نیک), good words (گفتار نیک) and good deeds (کردار نیک), the values at the heart of Zoroastrian philosophy. That makes it more than Farvahar art for the wall: it is a thoughtful housewarming present and a meaningful Zoroastrian gift for anyone who treasures Persian culture. If you would prefer the same symbol carved in wood, see our Faravahar walnut wall art, or for a different design the Persepolis copper plate. It sits well alongside our wall art collection, plate collection and the Farvahar Collection.
The Art of Ghalamzani Engraving
Ghalamzani is one of the oldest Persian handicrafts, the art of hammering, chasing and repoussé to raise intricate patterns from copper, brass, silver and gold. With a history reaching back thousands of years and Persian Heritage as its best-known centre, each piece is shaped entirely by hand. This Farvahar plate is made to order, so please allow an additional two to four weeks for production before it is carefully shipped to you.
