Il tappeto "Simonetti"

Egitto, probabilmente Cairo

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 459

Denominato “Simonetti” dal nome di un precedente proprietario, questo magistrale esempio di tessitura è uno dei più famosi tappeti mamelucchi in assoluto, oltre ad essere tra i più grandi. Vi sono raffigurati cinque medaglioni (non uno o tre secondo l’uso tradizionale) e la gamma dei colori è leggermente più ricca e brillante. Fabbricati presumibilmente in Egitto ai tempi della dinastia mamelucca, questi tappeti sono molto vivaci, tenendo conto della tessitura relativamente grezza e della limitata gamma di colori. L’effetto dell’insieme è quello di un brillante mosaico.
