Indo-Persian Miniature Painting in Moorish Micro Mosaic Inlaid Marquetry Frame
Located in Moreno Valley, 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.

Miniature Mudejar Archway w Inlaid Frame, Inspired by the Alhambra, Spain c.1900
Located in Lisse, NL
This beautifully handcrafted wall piece pays tribute to the splendor of Andalusian architecture, echoing the intricate arches and decorative flourishes of the Alhambra in Granada. Made in early 20th-century Spain, it captures the spirit of Islamic Revival style with striking detail and artisan precision.
At its center are three classic horseshoe arches, richly adorned with arabesques and supported by slender columns topped with finely worked capitals. A palette of soft reds, blues, and golds brings depth and warmth, further elevated by a rich burgundy velvet background. Surrounding the scene is a remarkable inlaid wooden frame, featuring delicate geometric patterns and flowing Arabic calligraphy — hallmarks of Neo-Mudejar design.
This is not only a decorative object but a conversation piece, a rare combination of cultural history, architectural beauty, and fine craftsmanship.
There are signs of restorations and some chipping to the plasterwork, mostly along the edges, but nothing that takes away from the overall beauty or structural integrity of the piece.
Whether you're a lover of Islamic art, architectural miniatures, or simply looking for something rich in history and charm to add to your space, this piece brings timeless character and a story with it. A rare find with true soul.
The large frame may have some minor losses and but this antique art work...

External cm. 17 x 17. Weight gr. 483. Designed by Giorgio Salimbeni in 1978 on the inspiration of previous artefacts from the early 1900s and manufactured in Florence at the headquarters of the Salimbeni company with completely manual execution by artisan artists with a very thick plate and large reinforcements suitable to support numerous high-fire enameling firings at approximately 750 < 800° C.
It is a new object that has never been used but is considered vintage because it was built more than 20 years ago.
The hallmarks struck to the underside of this fine box include:
manufacturer's mark: 391FI
metal mark fineness:925
Art Deco was also born in France and is the abbreviation of "Art Decoratif".
With more decisive and geometric features than Art Nouveau, therefore more evident and "harder", with always contrasting and strong colours, Art Deco spread throughout the world, from Shanghai's China to the under construction New York and in various parts of Europe.
Many artists and designers of the time dedicated themselves to the creation of drawings, paintings, objects for personal use and furniture, interior furnishings, entire buildings and skyscrapers, in this new style.
Sandoz in Paris, Lalique with its crystals, Puiforcat with its silverware, Erté with its "ante litteram" fashion designs, Tiffany with its table lamps, Louis Cartier with its objects inspired by the Far East (hence the connection with Shanghai).
Salimbeni was able to interpret and propose new objects inspired by Art Deco, in precious metals, semiprecious stones and fired enamels, when, exhibiting at jewelery exhibitions in the United States, and more precisely in New York, he made contact with Cartier buyers first, and also with Tiffany later, and for them he created objects in this style inspired by the original drawings of Louis Cartier, obtained from the buyer of the time, but with absolutely different and original designs and interpretations.
Many of the objects produced by Salimbeni for Cartier in the United States had taken inspiration from famous Cartier objects belonging to famous people. An example of all is Mary Pickford's set consisting of a powder compact, cigarette case, pill case and evening handbag.
About cooperation Salimbeni and Cartier. Our first meetings with the Cartier USA Company took place through the Giorgini Company, the first "Buying Office" set up in Florence immediately after the Second World War, which had the purpose of bringing together Florentine, and also Italian, producers with American buyers, who especially appreciated the artistic objects still manufactured by artisans who still took inspiration from the Italian Renaissance, using techniques handed down from generation to generation. Mrs. Gina Pestelli, wife of a Florentine retail jeweller, was in charge of contacts with Cartier USA, above all an employee, while her daughter, also for Giorgini, took care of the fashion that in those years was affirmed in Florence with the events of "Pitti ". With their help, we began to supply frames and boxes in sterling silver gold plated with malachite and other semi-precious stones. At the same time, the official buyer of Cartier, Mr. William Smith, began to appreciate and commission the first objects with fired enamels, a process of which we have always been specialists. In 1975 we began exhibiting at the prestigious New York Jewellery Association Show, which we participated in both the February and July editions, for a good 26 years until 2001. In New York in those years the "Art deco style" was still very much appreciated, still mindful of the beautiful early 20th century architecture of the great buildings such as the "Crysler" or the "Empire State". We then began to produce frames, boxes, evening bags, "objets de vertu" and other objects in "art deco style" which were very popular with Mr. Smith who gave us some photocopies of Louis Francois Cartier drawings to reproduce them. Thus, numerous cigarette cases, powder compacts, evening bags, frames and table boxes were created exclusively for Cartier USA which, at the time, had the prestigious "Silver Department" on the first floor of the Cartier store on Fifth Avenue. An evening bag, with matching cigarette case and powder compact, were redone on the design created for a gift given to Mary Pickford at the time. In a 1986 Cartier...
