A beautifully illuminated manuscript page from an edition of Sa’adi’s works including the Bustan (Fruit Garden) and the Gulistan (Rose Garden) compiled as the ‘Kulliyat’. Sheikh Sa’adi (c1180-1292) is acknowledged as the greatest moral teacher in the Islamic Sufi tradition.

The text is nastaliq and in a fine hand. The arabesque decoration in the corner margins and the floral verticals is exquisite (see image 5c). The colours are fresh and the gold in very good condition. The red headings within the gold cartouche are exceptionally clear. This particular manuscript dates from around 1815.

Lovely 19th century manuscript miniature that arrived early, and nicely mounted with a bibliographical note. A very fine seller that I return to bid and buy from often. Thank you.

Item as described. Quick dispatch. Good communication. Couldn't be any happier. (Have to pay taxes and customs now - but that was clearly stated, foreseeable and not the sellers fault. Damned Brexit!)

Thanks so much for this feedback. Yes - damned Brexit. All the fault of in-fighting in the UK Govt and a mistaken belief that a vote would make it all go away! It has caused small business and private individuals a good deal of unnecessary trouble.

Exceptional seller, fine manuscript leaves, securely packed and shipped promptly. Much appreciated. Thanks very much.

With our pleasure. Thank you for your purchase.

The art piece came damaged unfortunately. The glass from the front was broken. I recommend the seller to send it with Fan Courier or other high quality postal services. However, I really like it.
