The Arabesque Wooden Wall Hanging with Medieval Fatimid Woodburned Art Pattern. Historical Islamic Art Design.

$145.00

This beautiful home decor wooden wall hanging bears an arabesque engraving inspired from a medieval pattern derived from a wooden panel carving from 11th century Fatimid Cairo. Wood craftsmen living at that time in the Fatimid period (between 909 - 1171) made very elaborate carvings using the technique of arabesque design. The design in this tray was one of several panels which would have been used as a panel insert for a highly ornate and beautiful door, possibly in the royal palace.

Fatimid style wood carvings were used all over the medieval Mediterranean and similar doors with elaborate patterns can even be found in Sicily. This gorgeous one-of-a-kind is meant to bring that beauty and history to your home while also giving your space a little added decorative sophistication and elegance to turn heads in your home or office.
