A Mughal velvet fragment India, circa 1700the light blue ground with a red-outlined cartouche containing radiating flowerheads interlaced with tendrils issuing further flowerheads, glazed and framed,36 by 23.5cm,Provenance: Jack Franses, London, (1928-2011); Private collection, Sussex, circa 1980s-2023Jack Franses was formerly a Sotheby's textiles specialist, a senior director for the Middle East and India, and in 1981 became head of the newly created Islamic Art department. His greatest asset was his perfect recall of almost every rug or textile he had ever seen. Both at Sotheby's and as a dealer, he advised numerous collectors and museums and royalty such as King Hussein of Jordan, Umberto II of Italy and Fahd of Saudi Arabia. This beautifully coloured and drawn fragment is found on a larger Mughal velvet panel which was exhibited in Munich in 1910 (F. Sarre and F. R. Martin, Meisterwerke Muhammedanischer Kunst, exhibition catalogue, Munich, 1910, pl.205). Loaned by Mr Schutz in Paris it was attributed to 18th century Persia (Yezd). Another large panel of the same textile is in the Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon (L'Art Islamique dans la collection Calouste Gulbenkian, exhibition catalogue, Argel, Algeria, 2007, cover ilustration; also Arte do Oriente Islamico, Colecçao da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon, 1963, no.82).

The works were brought to the UK when the family relocated here in 1966. Footnote : Phulkaris were ceremoniously exchanged between various members of the family during marriage festivities. These included the passing down of phulkaris from mother to daughter, or grandmother to granddaughter, or in the form of the highly particularised vari da bagh, a type of embroidery that was gifted by the groom's family as part of marriage arrangement. Soft, untwisted silk floss thread called as “pat” came from various places like Kashmir, Bengal and even from Afghanistan, and Turkistan, but were dyed locally in Amritsar and Jammu, and women could obtain this from nomadic merchants. Partition in 1947 changed the availability of these silk flosses.Further reading: Aryan, S. & B.N.

ROBERT MACBRYDE (BRITISH 1913-1966) STILL LIFE - FRUIT IN A DISH (DESIGN FOR ASCHER SQUARE), c. 1947 signed and titled ‘Still Life / MacBryde’ in blue ink (to reverse), monotype on paper 34cm x 33cm (13 3/8in x 13in) Redfern Gallery, London, 1983, from whom acquired by Gillian Raffles;The Collection of Gillian Raffles. The painter and theatre designer Robert MacBryde collaborated with Ascher Ltd. in the 1940s to create artist-designed scarves. This current original design ‘Still Life’ went into production in 1947 in silk twill in an edition of 225, and MacBryde gave particular thought to the practical nature of the commission and material in designing this work: “I imagine more could be learned from the past about the application of decoration in textiles – not mere imitation of old patterns, but the correct proportion inside the function of the material.Presuming a square to be worn as headgear, it would have a variety of draping dictated by the form of a head and this should not conceal entirely the main pattern.This design is from a still life painted some time ago and adapted to my idea of a square as something to be worn.” Zika Ascher, the founder of Ascher Ltd., was known for commissioning contemporary artists to design textiles, resulting in unique and collectible pieces. MacBryde's collaboration with Ascher is a testament to the fusion of fine art and fashion during that era. The National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne holds an example of this scarf in its collection.
