拍賣簡介

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.

Register now for early access to sale highlights, catalogues, events and exhibition details as they are unveiled.

Louise Broadhurst

Louise Broadhurst

Director, International Head of Department | Rugs & Carpets

Louise’s career at Christie’s began over 25 years ago in 1998. In 2002, she was appointed Junior Specialist in the Rugs and Carpets department where she went on to be made Head of Sale in 2012 and Director and Head of Department in 2014. Following Louise’s extensive years of experience and deep knowledge of the field, she has helped nurture the extraordinary sales and record prices which have greatly contributed to Christie’s dominance in this category. She has been involved with a number of high profile sales including the rare Safavid ‘Vase’ carpets formerly in the collection of Alice de Rothschild in 2016 (over £2.3 million), the Pommersfelden silk and metal-thread Safavid ‘Polonaise’ rugs in 2019 (over £7.5 million), the Imperial Ming ‘Dragon’ carpet which broke a world auction record for a Chinese carpet in Paris in 2019 (6.8 million euros) and the Royal Indian Mughal fragment that broke a further record in 2022 (over £5.4 million). Louise has nurtured strong relationships with established and emerging collectors within her field and during her time as Head of Department, Christie’s now hold eight of the top ten auction records in this field.
