NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- From Oct.
2 to 8, Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Gandharan antiquities will
be side by side with modern art, art deco furniture and interior
design at the renowned PAD London fair in Berkeley
square (stand B18).
The interior of the stand was inspired by the luxury settings of
Louis Vuitton and Cartier, with
individually lit glass cabinetry displaying a collection of gold
jewelry among Greek and Roman statues and statuettes. "This is our
fourth time participating in the fair and each year we achieve
something different and elegant that the visitors will
remember," says Hicham
Aboutaam, president of Electrum, the New York agent for Phoenix Ancient Art.
One of the highlights of the show is an Egyptian, New
Kingdom painted linen square of Ta-Nedjem. He is clearly identified
by the hieroglyphic inscription that reads "offering of
everything that is good and pure for the spirit of Ta-Nedjem, just
of voice." Ta-Nedjem means "the Gentle
Country." These pieces of painted linen fabrics are extremely
rare and belong to a body of work of which only about 20 surviving
examples have been listed. This linen square can be related to
three other fabrics, now housed in the Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston, in The Metropolitan Museum
of Art and in the Louvre.
PAD LONDON Art + Design will be
open at Berkeley Square, London
from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. on Oct. 2-7,
and 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Oct. 8,
stand B18.
