About the Item

Antique framed prayer / poem / manuscript book page from the Shahnameh epic featuring Persian / Arabic / Iranian / Islamic calligraphy arranged in geometric lattice design. The Shahnameh or Shahnama is a huge Persian epic located in about sixty thousand verses, compiled by Abu Qasim Ferdowsi, and ""considered the greatest Persian literary work of all time."" It was organized by Ferdowsi for Sultan Mahmud al-Ghaznawi, illustrating in it the history of the Persians from the legendary eras until the time of the Islamic conquest and the fall of the Sasanian state in the mid-seventh century AD. Translated into Arabic, in prose, by Al-Fath bin Ali Al-Bandari, who died in 643 AH. It is the only Arabic translation of the Shahnameh. The Egyptian Abd al-Wahhab Azzam verified it on five manuscripts, one in Berlin, the other in Cambridge, two copies in the Tob Qubusray, and the fifth in the Koberli Library, and the Berlin copy was adopted as the most complete copy. It was printed in two volumes in Cairo in 1350 AH.

  • 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...
