The art of gilding the Holy Quran in historical periods and Islamic lands has different visual characteristics that can be studied. The characteristics that are common in some cases due to relationships and influences, and in some cases due to localization, have accepted the special characteristics of that region. The gilding of the Safavid period has its characteristics despite the continuity of the traditions. After the end of the support of the court, also due to the wars and conflicts between the Safavid and Ottoman governments, several artists were transferred to the Ottoman court, And the characteristics of various arts, including gilding by Iranian artists, entered Ottoman gilding. Considering that so far, no research has been done on the characteristics of Safavid and Ottoman period gilding and their mutual relations and there is a lack of information in this field, research on this matter seems necessary. The purpose of this research is to investigate the differences and similarities between Safavid and Ottoman period gilding art and also to explain the reasons for the differences and similarities between these two periods. The research questions include: 1- What are the similarities and differences between Ottoman gilding and Safavid gilding? 2- What are the reasons for similarities and differences in Ottoman and Safavid gilding? The comparative research method is a set of qualitative methods. The method of gathering information is library and image reading. The findings of the research show that as long as Iranian artists were active in the Ottoman court, many features of Safavid and Timurid gilding were introduced to Ottoman gilding and were repeated exactly. After the popularization of nationalism in the Ottoman government, the presence of Iranian artists in the workshops was less and the influence of Safavid gilding was weak. Abstracts and structures become simple, quiet, and with minimal details.
