伊斯兰与印度世界艺术品包括东方地毯

Christie’s auction of Art of the Islamic and Indian Worlds Including Rugs and Carpets on 30 October celebrates the great variety and richness of art made in the Islamic lands and South Asia from the 7th to 19th centuries. The sale includes paintings, manuscripts, metalwork, ceramics, calligraphy, rugs, carpets and textiles.

Early highlights include a magnificent and extremely well-preserved 17th-century Safavid Isfahan gallery carpet, formerly part of a Japanese museum collection, that embodies the weaving accomplishments of the Safavid court under Shah Abbas. Equally impressive is a rare, 16th-century large-format ‘Bird’ Ushak carpet from western Anatolia, formerly loaned to both the Detroit Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Islamic Art in Berlin. The sale will also feature a magnificent brass candlestick made for the Yemeni Sultan al-Mujahid Saif al-Din Ali, which retains much of its silver and copper inlay. In addition, we will be offering a 16th-century game board made in Gujarat and elaborately inlaid with tortoiseshell and mother-of-pearl.
