Rare French Enameled Mamluk Revival Glass Mosque Lamp by Philippe Joseph Brocard
About the Item
A rare French enameled Mamluk Revival (Islamic) glass mosque lamp / lantern by Philippe-Joseph Brocard, late 19th century.
Measures: 14" high x 11" wide
Signed Brocard Paris.
Excellent condition.
Blown of orange-gilt glass, of characteristic form with six loop handles around the body, with original metal chains, decorated in blue, red, green, and white and orange enamels with gilt, the neck decorated with roundels containing scrolling palmettes and interspersed with calligraphic cartouches, the body with swirling and intertwining foliate scrolls, with Arabic calligraphy throughout.
Philippe-Joseph Brocard, a 19th century glass maker, was greatly inspired by 13th-14th century enameled glass mosque lamps from Mamluk Egypt and Syria which he saw on display at the Musée de Cluny in Paris. He mastered early Mamluk techniques such as using firm, colorful enamels to decorate his glass models and exhibited some of his pieces at the Exposition Universelle of 1867 in Paris.
Now, a number of Brocard's own creations are housed in museums and collections around the world, including the British Museum (inv. no. M&ME 1902,11-18,1), the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no. 71-1890), and the Corning Museum of Glass (inv. no. 78.3.16).

- Placido Zuloaga, an Extremely Rare Spanish Gold and Silver Damascened FrameBy Plácido Zuloaga 1Located in New York, NYPlacido Zuloaga, an extremely rare Spanish gold and silver damascened window frame, circa 1880. The interior is lined and fitted with an orientalist artwork throughout. Signed PZ on the reverse. Placido Zuloaga was a renowned Spanish metalworker and damascene artist known for his exceptional skills in working with gold and silver and for creating intricate and ornate designs on metal surfaces using a technique called damascening. One of Zuloaga's works is this rare gold and silver damascened frame that he created in the late 19th century. The frame is decorated with intricate designs in silver and gold, creating a stunning contrast that is characteristic of Zuloaga's work. The frame is a remarkable example of Zuloaga's artistry and skill, as well as his mastery of the damascening technique. The technique involves inlaying silver or gold wire into the surface of the metal, creating intricate and detailed designs that are both beautiful and durable. Zuloaga's work was highly sought after during his lifetime and is still highly valued today. His pieces are considered to be some of the finest examples of damascene artistry in the world, and his legacy continues to inspire and influence metalworkers and artists today. His works are in private collections and in museums worldwide. Comparative Literature: James D. Lavin, The Art and Tradition of the Zuloagas, Spanish Damascene...Category
