Islamic Art Valuations
The vast geographical expanse and diversity of the Arab-Muslim World has allowed Islamic art to incorporate a multitude of techniques and inspirations, making it an extremely desirable field on the world art market today.
Born at the beginning of the Hegira, the realm of Islamic art has been influenced by countries ranging from Spain to India. The elements of calligraphy and decorative art from the Islamic world are strongly marked by a religion and structured around the divine Transcendence, it revolves around the story of the Prophet Muhammad.
What characterises the art of the Arab-Muslim world? The so-called “minor” arts are widely used in the artistic culture of Islam. More aesthetic than practical, these objects are considered as masterpieces. For mainly religious reasons, these everyday instruments were not reduced to the simple commercial concept of object production. That’s why they are so highly appreciated by collectors. Particular highlights of the field are the impressive works of metal arts, ceramics, glass, carved stone, but also wood and ivory.
