1657 Goat Jade Jahan Nephrite Petal Shah Wine Albert
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite white nephrite jade wine cup, dating back to 1657, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Mughal Empire during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan in India. The cup, now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England, provides a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Mughal court workshops, which at that time would have been located in Agra. The intricately carved petals adorning the cup's base and the goat motif on its handle are characteristic of the Mughal artistic style, which was renowned for its intricate floral and geometric designs. Nephrite jade, a precious and rare material, was highly valued in the Mughal court for its beauty and durability. Emperor Shah Jahan, who ruled India from 1628 to 1658, was known for his love of art and architecture. He commissioned some of the most iconic structures in Indian history, including the Taj Mahal, during his reign. This wine cup, a humble yet significant object, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that flourished under his rule. The cup's journey from India to England is a fascinating one. It is believed to have been acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in the late 19th century, possibly through a European traveler or collector. Today, it stands as a symbol of the historical connections between India and England, and a reminder of the artistic exchanges that have taken place between the two countries over centuries.
