Auction 24 June 2024 Oriental and Indian art, part 2 - Paris

Bid on the lot list Millon : 24 June 2024 - <p>Le département MILLON – Afrique du Nord, Moyen Orient et Inde vous présente le second chapitre de sa saison estivale ayant lieu à Drouot. </p><p>Parmi les collections issues de voyageurs passionnés traversant l’Orient de l’Inde au Maghreb, nous présentons des archives de Mirza Reza Khan Arfa, intellectuel, poète, diplomate et grand collectionneur d&#39;art. Ces documents sont un riche témoignage des mœurs, de la mode, et bien sûr des relations diplomatiques entre la Perse et la Russie, l’Espagne ou encore Monaco à la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle. </p><p>Autre moteur du voyage et des échanges, le chameau et le dromadaire sont les figures de proue des caravanes commerciales et des idées. Mais les camélidés sont aussi une source d’inspiration dans l’art. Un magnifique plateau au dromadaire composite présente l&#39;inventivité des artistes indiens, ou encore une exceptionnelle sculpture de dromadaire par Moïse Chemla, montre le réel tour de force de l’artisan potier.</p><p>Les sciences astronomiques sont également au cœur de cette vente avec une belle sélection d’astrolabes. Objets inventés dans l’antiquité, ils ont été perfectionnés dans le monde arabo-persan comme produit de haute valeur. Enfin, vous retrouverez toutes sortes de productions telles que des costumes et objets d&#39;apparat comprenant notamment des vêtements, de riches armes et bijoux de l’Asie centrale aux Balkans. Mais aussi des céramiques des premiers siècles de l’islam jusqu’aux créations des artistes occidentaux tels que Edmé Samson ou Léon Parvillé, verreries de bohème, fines suzani ou châles indiens.</p><p><br></p><p>Expert: Anne Sophie Joncoux Pilorget asjoncoux@millon.com +33 (0)1 47 27 76 71 Département : Raya Jebali - orient@millon.com / Killian Lecuyer - mena@millon.com +33 (0)1 47 27 56 51 - Catalogue disponible sur demande</p> Salle 5 - Hôtel Drouot - Paris
