Tapis « Simonetti »

Égypte, probablement Le Caire

Not on view

Appelé « Simonetti » du nom d’un ancien propriétaire, ce splendide tissage est l’un des tapis mamelouks les plus célèbres, tant pour ses dimensions exceptionnelles — il est orné de cinq médaillons au lieu d’un seul, ou trois tout au plus, traditionnellement — que pour la variété et l’éclat des couleurs. Vraisemblablement exécutés en Égypte pendant la dynastie mamelouke, ces tapis, dont le tissage était plutôt grossier et la gamme de couleurs limitée, sont étonnamment riches et évoquent des mosaïques lumineuses.
