Antique Persian Illuminated Manuscripts, Authentic, Hand Painted
Priced in Mexican Pesos. Antique 'Illuminated' Persian Manuscripts, Authentic, Hand Painted.
3 available, these are sold individually, the price is per painting.
I would estimate these to be more than 400 years old.
They were purchased at Sotheby's in New York City in the 1970's.
My consignor no longer can locate the paperwork from that purchase, being so far back. But her memory says they were told they were from the 16th or 17th century (1500's to 1600's) . Which is consistent with my research on other similar pieces on the market today.
You can see that they are one half of a book plate, the other half would have been the poem.
These measure as follows: In the frames, 15.75" by 25" (40cm x 63cm).
The actual page measures 9.5" (24.5cm) wide and 15.5" (39cm) tall.
Excuse the photos, it is really hard to shoot photos through glass. They are much brighter than my photos depict.
