Circa 1900 26" long by 12 3/4" wide This is a lovely Victorian English beveled mahogany panel that has been hand painted with groups or white cabbage roses surrounding a perch of swallows. The painting needs cleaning and there are some chips to the panel which is unframed. It is a delightful shabby chic cottage form of decorative accessorizing and was probably a front panel for an armoire at one time.   « Less

Engraved Copper Alloy Bucket - LO.925, Origin: Central Asia, Circa: 12 th Century AD to 13 th Century AD, Collection: Islamic Art, Style: Khorasan, Medium: Quarternary, Bronze, In the 9th century, hordes of nomadic Turkic horseman living on the outskirts of the Muslim world began to migrate westward into the heart of Central Asia. By the 10 century, a branch known as the House of Seljuk had broken off from the Oghuz confederation of Turkomen tribesmen, arrived into mainland Persia, and settled in the province of Khurasan. Overtime, the Seljuks converted to Islam and began to adopt the Persian language and culture. In the 11th century, the Seljuks set up an independent state under their leader Tugrul Bey with its capital in Isfahan, initially under the auspices of the Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad. The arts thrived during the Seljuk period as the Turkic rulers patronized Persian culture, arts, and literature.   « Less

Exquisitely hand carved walnut panel from the 1800's. The Renaissance styling includes a scrolling floral foliate motif, on a finely textured ground, with a shield and fleur de lis, fabulous! I particularly love the two massive blossoms at the top of the panel. Condition is excellent. These very rare, now impossible for me to get (I grabbed up every single one I could find!), were used in chateaux wall paneling and as parts of fine furniture. Dimensions: 21" high, 14.5" wide, with a total depth of approximately 3/4". It's ready to hang in your chateau. I've got one on a library wall, and it lends incomparable depth and beauty to the entire room. Item ID: 531   « Less
