Summary
| Description |
English: The wooden wall paneling comes from the Wakil house in the Syrian city of Aleppo. There it decorated the reception room (Arabic qāʿa) in the house of the Christian merchant ʿIsa ibn Butrus. Two inscriptions mention the years 1009 H. (1600/1601) and 1012 H. (1603) of the Muslim era, in which the owner (probably) commissioned Persian artists to paint this room. While the panels are made of cedar, the doors and shutters are made of walnut with boxwood inlays.
Deutsch: Die hölzerne Wandverkleidung stammt aus dem Haus Wakil in der syrischen Stadt Aleppo. Dort schmückte sie den Empfangsraum (arab. qāʿa) im Haus des christlichen Kaufmanns ʿIsa ibn Butrus. Zwei Inschriften nennen die Jahre 1009 H. (1600/1601) bzw. 1012 H. (1603) muslimischer Zeitrechnung, in denen der Besitzer (wahrscheinlich) persische Künstler beauftragte, diesen Raum auszumalen. Während die Paneele aus Zedernholz gearbeitet sind, bestehen die Türen und Fensterläden aus Nussbaumholz mit Buchsbaumeinlagen. |
