Item Details

Item No. 118

 
 

This vintage moaraq is a classic Persian romantic image, very reminiscent of poems such as the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, featuring a woman holding a flask of wine.  The moaraq comes with a metal eyelet mounted on the back, ready to display on your home or office wall.  Signed by the artist (see lower left and close-up above).  This piece also features high-quality khatam inlay as the dress collar. There is a metal eyelet on the top to use for wall display.

The item does have some visible signs of age around the sides, but these do not detract from the image and are not noticeable from the front. If one were to set it into a wooden frame, then it would not be visible at all and would help protect the piece from any further wear.

This item would make an excellent gift for anyone who is fond of fine craftsmanship, folk arts, decorators or anyone looking for that extra touch of class for their home.

Dimensions:  29.5 x 20 x 2 cm, or 11.6" x 8" x 0.75".
