Antique Oil on Canvas Painting Arabic Male & Camel in Desert Protecting Spouse
Located in Lisse, NL
19th century, one of a kind, oil painting in a more modern, golden colored wooden frame.
We know that in the 19th century many renowned European artists went on 'study trips' to all parts of the globe and many of them loved the totally different world they would find there. They were so inspired by what they witnessed in these totally different cultures that some of them created their best ever work in that period. This beautiful painting has a lot going for it and we especially love the colors and the lightness of this Arab or possibly North African composition. Besides that, this wonderful painting also tells a story. One of a traveling man having to protect his spous against, what look to be, two desert robbers on horses. You can imagine the fear that this would give a woman with a small child, being so far away from everything and literally in the middle of nowhere. Many of the details are incredibly well painted, but we particularly love the way the stunning camel is portrayed, but also the clothes of the people and the serene face of the small child are marvelous details to look at. Unfortunately we don't know who painted this work of beauty, but we would not be surprised if there are connoisseurs out there that do. One of the most difficult things in interior design, we feel, is decorating the walls. We are no specialist in selling antique paintings, but whenever we get a chance to purchase a beautiful hand-painted oil on canvas from the Victorian era then we always try to acquire it. Especially when the details and colors are as good and vibrant as in this 19th century painting. The fact that there is some type of 'action' going on too lifts it above the average. This Arab subject matter also is very rare and besides the folds in the painting (where the inner edges of the frame underneith are), this antique work of art truly is in superb condition and a gem to behold. To us, this is the perfect painting for an eclectic interior or for anyone with an Arab or Moroccan Style (inspired) interior.
If you like the look and feel of this fine quality, antique Victorian era painting...

Vintage Islamic Moroccan Blue Tile with the Hand of Fatima
Located in North Hollywood, CA
Vintage Islamic Moroccan tile with the Hand of Fatima, pair of Fishes and a Gazelle, the Hand of Fatima is here to protect against negative energy, fishes and the gazelle are to bring good energy for business and wealth homes.
The Hand of Fatima, also known as the Hamsa, can indeed be adorned with various decorative elements, including fishes and gazelle designs. These additional motifs can carry their own symbic meanings, which can vary based on ctural and personal interpretations.
1) Fishes: In some interpretations, fishes can symbize fertility, abundance, and sustenance. In Christian symbism, fishes are associated with Jesus and his disciples. In the context of the Hand of Fatima, fishes cod signify blessings and prosperity.
2) Gazelle: Gazelles are often associated with grace, beauty, and swiftness. They can also represent a connection to nature and the natural world. The addition of a gazelle to the Hand of Fatima design might emphasize qualities such as protection, elegance, and harmony.
When combined with the Hand of Fatima, these designs cod amplify the protective and positive energies associated with the symb itself. However, it's important to note that interpretations can vary widely depending on ctural backgrounds, religious beliefs, and personal associations. The final meaning wod timately depend on the intent of the wearer or the person displaying the symbs.

Porter Woodruff, was an illustrator artist and contributor to Vogue Magazine and Home & Garden (including covers for both). He was one of five artists stationed in Paris in 1923 for Vogue. Woodruff spent considerable time in Tunisia, North Africa, residing with his romantic partner, Romanian socialite George Sebastian. Sebastian owned a lavish, coastal property in then-trendy Hammamet, near Tunis on the Mediterranean.
Sebastian fell in love with the simple beauty of the quiet fishing port of Hammamet and was the first of the international set of the times to build his villa there. He started a trend that has never ceased. Frank Lloyd Wright is said to have claimed Dar Sebastian to be ”the most beautiful house I have ever seen”.
American and European intelligentsia and upper-crust were attracted to the area between the wars. The artists Cocteau, Elsa Schiaparelli, Paul Klee, Andre Gide, the Sitwells, and Cecil Beaton enjoyed visiting, partying, and undertaking what someone once described as indulging the opportunity to do 'some rather elaborate sinning'. Other visitors included Art Deco designer Jean-Michel Frank, Wallis Simpson, Somerset Maugham, and Greta Garbo, among others.
The onset of war disrupted this scene and it never truly regained its former glory. Dar Sebastian was requisitioned by the 'Desert Fox', German General, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel...
