Diwani calligraphy wall art, from AED 60 rolled and AED 100 framed A3, printed and framed by hand in our UAE workshop in 5–7 working days. Diwani is the ceremonial hand of the Ottoman chancery: the letters knot and climb, and a line becomes an ornament before it becomes a sentence. It is what most people mean when they say “Arabic calligraphy”, and it is the script we write the Arabic proverbs and Quranic verses in — «الصبر مفتاح الفرج», «العلم نور», «الجار قبل الدار», «إن مع العسر يسرا».
Every piece is printed with archival inks on cotton canvas; UAE delivery is a flat AED 50 per order. Diwani reads best large — an A2 above a sofa, an A1 in a hallway — and it is genuinely hard to read at a glance, which is part of its charm and worth knowing before you choose it for a name.
Compare it with the monumental Thuluth and the Persian Nastaliq on the script pages, or write your own line in Diwani in Mashq Studio.
Quick answers
How much is delivery?
Per order in the UAE: AED 50 when it holds a paint or an original, AED 25 for décor alone (75 when mixed). Worldwide Express is AED 250 per order, within 8 days.
When does it arrive?
Made-to-order pieces take 5–7 working days for production; in-hand originals ship after inspection, and originals written to order take 3–4 weeks.
Can it be framed?
Paints include the frame when you choose one; originals ship unframed and framing with glass is a flat AED 300; acrylic pieces need no frame.
Can I have my own words?
On paints and acrylic pieces, yes — through Mashq Studio or by sending your words on WhatsApp from the page; originals are bought as the calligrapher wrote them.
