About the Item

Moorish Tile Patterns – Islamic Geometric Motifs, Plate XXIX Description: This exquisite chromolithograph titled "MAURESQUE" (Moorish), Plate XXIX, presents a stunning collection of intricate geometric tile designs from the Islamic art tradition of North Africa and southern Spain. Produced in the late 19th century, the plate highlights the mathematical elegance and decorative complexity of Moorish ornamentation, drawn from ceramic work, stucco, and mosaic tile (zellige) typically seen in mosques, palaces, and fountains of the Islamic West. The top section features an expansive panel of tessellated star polygons and interlaced rosettes, arranged in a dazzling radial symmetry. The dense interweaving of stars, hexagons, and floral elements in deep greens, purples, yellows, and blues reflects the highly developed Andalusian style found in the Alhambra of Granada or the Great Mosque of Córdoba. Beneath the main panel is a rich array of twenty smaller motifs, including square tiles and border sections. These showcase an astonishing range of Islamic geometric vocabulary: knotwork patterns, kufic-like arrangements, eight-point stars, arabesques, and multicolor interlacings. Each tile reveals the underlying complexity of Islamic design—where repetition, symmetry, and infinite extension represent spiritual harmony and divine unity. The sheet was lithographed by Prisse d’Avennes or based on his work and produced by Firmin-Didot Frères, Fils & Cie, Paris. It likely comes from the influential 19th-century publication *L'Ornement Arabe* or from *L'Ornement Polychrome*, both widely used by European designers and architects to study and emulate Islamic design during the Orientalist movement. The color scheme—mustard yellow, sapphire blue, forest green, and rich violet—mirrors traditional glazes used in Moroccan and Andalusian tiles. This print offers both aesthetic brilliance and scholarly value, making it ideal for collectors of Islamic art, educators in architectural history, and designers seeking authentic references to Islamic decorative language. Condition report: Very good condition. Clean sheet with fresh, vibrant colors. Very minor edge toning consistent with age. No tears, foxing, or marks visible. Framing tips: A minimalist frame in black, deep walnut, or gold will enhance the intricate details without distraction. Consider a neutral mat in cream or sand tone, or a double mat with a dark green or blue inner accent to echo the tile colors. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Thuillier et Saurin lith.; printed by Firmin-Didot Frères, Fils & Cie, Paris, circa 1880s
