About the Item

Arabic Calligraphy is a precious manuscript with Islamic sacred verses in an ancient calligraphy style. One page, one-sided, in Arabic, the original sheet (cm 17 x 11). In good condition, except for a visible stain on the left side. Overall the whole manuscript is perfectly readable. Under plexiglass, and under a precious ebony wooden frame (cm 34.5 x 1.3 x 28.5). The script is in black ink with some words in red ink. In the top of the sheet and on the right side there are small words that are hard to read. In the left and center of the manuscript, the main script is written in bigger words. There are also small circled words blew and left side of the sheet which demonstrates the importance of phrases that are circled for calligrapher. Regard to Islamic art, calligraphy is sacred art which through it calligrapher does an act of praying with repetition and his handwriting. Calligraphy is the art of writing created for beauty as well as to convey ideas. It is an ancient art and one that is ornamental, elaborate, and also practical. In the Islamic world, however, calligraphy has been used to a much greater extent and in astonishingly varied and imaginative ways, which have taken the written word far beyond pen and paper into all art forms and materials. For these reasons, calligraphy may be counted as a uniquely original feature of Islamic art. This precious piece of art presents a dignified expression of calligrapher and it would be suitable for who is searching for emotion through a piece of art.

  • Mayday No. 28, 1989, by Karl Gerich of Bath - Playing Card Proof Print
    Located in Meinisberg, CH
    Karl Alexander Gerich (English, 23.4.1956 - 4.1.2016) Mayday No. 28, 1989 - Etching - Sheet ca. 37.5 x 26.1 cm - Plate ca. 32.6 x 23.5 cm You ask why this pack is called Mayday ? Well, the pack was finished on the 1st of May, 1989 – The day Steven Denis won the World Snooker Championship. Karl was a passionate snooker fan and this is how he marked the victory of his hero, who he also made the joker of this pack. The proof sheet printed in blue depicts all the court cards, title card, joker & that extra SD joker and the box in which the pack would live. Sheet is in good condition and suitable to be framed. Karl was a brilliant playing card maker and certainly one of the most genius artist-craftsmen I had the pleasure to learn about his work and know. He could do it all: Come up with the tale, weave meaning(s) into it, fill it with spirited characters of his liking, draw it, etch it, print it, colour it and handcraft the inks, paper and card into wondersome packs of playing cards, each of them living in their own, most exquisitely crafted boxes. Every pack a magical marvel, filled with the spirit of this genius card maker … All this he did using his Adana printing press, very simple hand tools and great skill. When Karl closed down his studio in St.Peter’s Terrace in Bath, England and moved to Poplar Close, he sold off work for which he felt he no longer wanted to be the custodian. So a number of prints reached the market then. Printed sheets by Karl Gerich...

  • Pollonaise No. 24, 1988 by Karl Gerich of Bath - Playing Card Print Sheet
    Located in Meinisberg, CH
    Karl Alexander Gerich (English, 23.4.1956 - 4.1.2016) Pollonaise No. 24, 1988 - Etching - Sheet ca. 27.8 X 42 cm - No plate mark - Varnished ('Glossy Antique French') Finished, coloured, backed and varnished print likely to be a spare sheet (over production), which were never used. Possibly at some later stage, Karl experimented by partially painting the back with divering number of layers of pink. Held up as finished cards the pink would then shine through the varnished card. By holding up the sheet, this effect can be observed in areas with and without the pink backing. Sheets is in good condition and suitable to be framed.
