Frequently asked questions

Noun Qalam is a platform specializing in Arabic calligraphy. I offer three product categories:

• Original Artworks: Unique creations handmade by me, signed and shipped from France. Discover the calligraphies
• Custom Products: Personalized calligraphies according to your instructions (first names, specific texts, colors, support, ...). Order a personalized first name or text in calligraphy
• Printed Products (POD): Reproductions of my calligraphies (posters, phone cases, canvases, bags, ...) manufactured on demand. Discover the products

Yes, all creations are initially handmade by me using traditional tools such as the qalam, balsa, and India ink. Depending on your order, two paths are possible:

• For Original Artworks: You receive the unique handcrafted creation made manually on its paper support, hand-signed and shipped directly from the workshop in France.
• For Printed Products (Reproductions): The original calligraphy is digitized in high definition and then printed on the support of your choice (poster, textile, bag, etc.).

Yes, each original artwork is hand-signed by me. This signature authenticates your calligraphy as a unique creation and certifies its artisanal origin. It is placed discreetly on the support so as not to alter the harmony of the artwork while guaranteeing its authenticity.

To order, first select the desired support (canvas, poster, etc.) then choose the format, colors, and level of detail. You can then enter your personalized text in Latin or Arabic alphabet. Order a personalized first name or text in calligraphy

Yes, absolutely. Since the Arabic language is phonetic, it is possible to transcribe all first names, regardless of their linguistic origin.

• For non-Arabic first names: I proceed with a faithful phonetic adaptation so that the original pronunciation is preserved once calligraphed in Arabic.
• For texts and quotes not provided in Arabic: I create an adapted translation in Arabic to guarantee the meaning and aesthetics of your message.

Yes, I create personalized calligraphies for your weddings, engagements, births, and other special events. Order a personalized calligraphy for an event

If your order contains both an original artwork and a printed product, your items will be shipped separately. Originals are shipped from France, while your printed products are sent from the production center closest to you to reduce costs and the ecological impact of transport.

Production time varies between 5 and 10 business days depending on the complexity of your order. Delivery then takes an additional 3 to 15 days depending on your location. I also offer express delivery options for urgent orders for an additional fee.

To preserve the beauty of your artwork, avoid direct sunlight and excessive humidity. For cleaning, simply use a dry, soft cloth. Canvases and posters require no special maintenance. For plexiglass or aluminum supports, simple dusting is sufficient.

Yes, I offer volume discounts for professional or large quantity orders. For orders of more than 10 items, contact me directly for a personalized quote. I regularly work with companies, associations, and event organizers.

Yes, I ship worldwide! Shipping costs are automatically calculated based on your address at checkout. For international destinations, delivery times vary by country. All my packages are carefully packed and insured to ensure delivery in perfect condition.
