LAMPAS, Spain, Granada, probably from the... - Lot 138 - Osenat
LAMPAS, Spain, Granada, probably from the Nasrid period (1230-1492), Mudejar period, 15th century, or a faithful replica from the 19th century (?), red satin background, black, yellow and cream decoration of crowned lions facing each other on either side of a cypress tree, between cut-out palms evoking the name of Allah, in the form of a shield surmounted by a carnation, canvas lining, mounted on a panel, under glass and in a frame (wear, comes from an old dalmatic, lacks the edges). 82 x 54 cm Provenance : Jean-Joseph Marquet de Vasselot (1871- 1946), curator at the Louvre museum in 1902 then at Cluny in 1926, remained in the descendants. A copy in all points similar, with the same cup for a dalmatic and the same dimensions (82 x 54 cm) is kept in the Museum of fabrics in Lyon. It is probably the other side of the dalmatic from which our panel comes. It is reproduced in the Guide to the Musée des Tissus de Lyon, page 73: "This piece, and the two others from the same room, belonged to the De Boislève collection. The Musée National du Moyen Age and the Abegg Stiftung also own it. Perhaps, like many oriental textiles particularly appreciated for their refinement, this one was the back of a chasuble? This is what its particular cut would suggest. .... "Spain XIV-XVth c. Panel decorated with palmettes and lions. Lampas, silk. H. 0,82 ; L : 0,54. Purchase from Boislève, 1884.
