    Sale information

    THE ORIENT IN RARE CONDITION The MILLON - Arts d'Orient, d'Afrique du Nord et de l'Inde department presents a Bordeaux collection assembled over three generations. More than 160 exceptionally well-preserved lots will be auctioned at Drouot on December 4. One family, one house, one passion Under the impetus of Georges (1863-1941), the Tauzin family cultivated a taste for the Orient and North Africa through their many travels, and passed this passion on to the next two generations. It was his son Jean-Charles who transformed their Bordeaux home. Indeed, their love of travel and taste for the arts of India, South Asia, North Africa and the Orient led them to create a life-size showcase for all the objects they had acquired, one by one. The corridors and lounges of the family home recreated the most beautiful atmospheres of the Ottoman Alhambra: stucco lace, moucharabiehs, earthenware tiles on the walls. For almost 70 years, this incredible setting sheltered a collection of 160 lots from prying eyes and bright lights, which will be presented on December 4 at Hôtel Drouot. In addition to the quality of the lots, the variety of the works on display and their provenance are sure to attract the attention of many collectors. Ceramics, furniture, carved wooden lintels, Koranic leaflets, textiles, weapons, etc., the Tauzin family was guided in its acquisitions by eminent merchants from North Africa and France; these exchanges gave rise to abundant documentation. Video presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=jtMDBuo9GcQ&cbrd=1 A large calligrapher's chest in the finest Turkish tradition (Lot 116 - H.35cmxW.62cmxD.36cm. Estimated €4/6,000) This 18th-century chest, used by scribes as an office and storage space for their fine materials, is entirely decorated with tortoiseshell and mother-of-pearl, and illustrates the art form highly prized by the Ottoman court. The same geometric motif adorns the doors of the Baghdad Pavilion in Istanbul's Topkapi Palace. A Mamluk candlestick with a monumental inscription depicts 14th-century Cairo craftsmanship (Lot 97 - H 27cm. Est 20/40.000€) Mamluk sultans ruled the key territories of the Islamic world: Mecca, Medina or Cairo, and candlesticks were an essential part of their religious ceremonies. Made of brass, inlaid with silver, this splendid piece bears witness to the fact that it belonged to an officer of the eminent Sultan al-Nasir. The object's condition is remarkable for the absence of modern repairs. A rare Persian miniature from the royal workshop in Bukhara (Lot 125 - Album page 25x15cm. Est 4/6.000€) This gouache and gold miniature, dated 1567, is taken from a manuscript commissioned by Prince Nematullah Khalifa in 974 AH. Here again, the Tauzin family have made an enlightened selection, since this is an emblematic theme in Persian poetic works. More specifically, the anecdote of the Maghreb schoolmaster recounted in the seventh chapter of Saadi's Golestan. Tabak dish, Turkey, 16th century (Lot 100 - diameter 27.5 cm. Est 8/12.000€) The famous Iznik ceramics were named after the island of Rhodes. The bright blue, so sought-after, is recognizable. This well-preserved piece was acquired by the Tauzin family in 1944.
