Abdulfettah, one of the ablest 19th century Ottoman calligraphers, was sent with Mehmet Sefik by Sultan Abdulmecid to Bursa to repair the inscriptions on the Ulu Cami (congregational mosque). These consist of the 99 names of Allah in very large kufic and diwani script, often mirrored, around its twelve great pillars and walls. His work is also in the Suleymaniye Cami in Istanbul and several mosques in Edirne.
An oil on canvas panel by the same calligrapher was sold in these rooms, 12th October 2004, lot 6.
