Indo-Persian Miniature Painting in Moorish Micro Mosaic Inlaid Marquetry Frame
Located in North Hollywood, CA
Framed Persian Miniature Painting in Moorish Micro Mosaic Inlaid Marquetry Frame – Indo-Persian Artwork
Stunning Middle Eastern Persian miniature painting, exquisitely hand-painted and framed in a vintage Moorish micro mosaic inlaid frame. This collectible piece showcases the refined elegance of Islamic art, merging the rich traditions of Persian miniature painting with the intricate craftsmanship of khatam marquetry.
The finely detailed painting depicts a 19th-century royal polo scene, featuring royal princes dressed in traditional Maharaja attire riding horseback in vivid, vibrant color. The square-shaped frame is masterfully handcrafted using the ancient Persian technique of khatamkari, a meticulous form of micro mosaic inlay. This time-honored art form utilizes tiny slivers of wood, bone, and metal to create delicate geometric and floral Moorish designs—reminiscent of works found in the Doris Duke Islamic Art Collection and other notable museum holdings.
The micro mosaic inlay, also known as Sadeli work, is a rare and highly sought-after craft, especially when combined with the luminous detail of a Persian miniature. This piece is a true testament to Indo-Persian artistry, offering both visual opulence and historic significance.
Features:
* Antique handcrafted Moorish frame with geometric Islamic design
* Persian miniature painting on shell with royal polo scene
* Museum-quality Indo-Persian craftsmanship
* Frame dimensions: 13" x 9.25"
* Ideal as a collector’s piece, wall décor, or focal point in any sophisticated interior
* A rare fusion of Islamic, Persian, and Indian decorative arts circa 1950s.
Perfect for collectors of Islamic art, Middle Eastern antiques, or enthusiasts of fine marquetry and micro mosaic inlay, this piece brings historical richness and unparalleled craftsmanship to your space.
