You are bidding on a gorgeous piece of Persian/Islamic Art.
An Antique illuminated page from an ancient Persian manuscript beautifully hand painted on a delicate ‘parchment’ type paper in Watercolors with Opaque Gouache highlights. This fabulous ‘one off’ piece of Art is extremely rare and is Persian or Islamic in origins and dates to the mid 18th Century, Zand Dynasty (1751–1794).
The front is intricately illustrated and depicts a scene of figures in a tented se...ttlement enjoying wine of an evening in a mountainous landscape. This central scene is bordered on 3 sides with a gorgeous and intricate Persian design typical of the period.
On the reverse can be seen a page of Ancient Islamic or Arabic Calligraphy in Black & Red Ink with wide margins and extensive marginal notes.
It has been sympathetically framed and mounted to show the front illustration and the texts on the back. So it is ready to display and enjoy.
The actual artwork measures approximately 6 inches in (W) x 9.5 inches in (D)The outer fame measures approx. 11.5 inches in (W) x 17.75 inches in (D)
Its condition is quite stunning given its potential age and its fragile nature. No tears or Repairs!
Some small issues to mention:The paper has yellowed with age as you would expect.It does have three very tiny ‘worm’ holes in the paper. These where probably created by a very old wood worm infestation when it was a complete and bound manuscript! ?The corners of the back do have small tape stains due to mounting in the frame.
Overall a glorious and rare example in stunning Antique condition. No Serious problems!
We will send it out to you well packaged, so you can bid in confidence.
You will not be disappointed. Good luck and thanks for your interest.
