- (1888PressRelease) December 31, 2010 - Beverly Hills, CA. - A well-established and reputable three-generation-old group of fine art collectors based in Beverly Hills, CA, and London, specializing in museum-quality Islamic and ancient art has launched their website for collectors of mosque lamps, Joseph Brocard art, Persian, European, and near Eastern arts. The group has a rare collection of the aforementioned arts including rare 19th century mosque lamps by Philippe-Joseph Brocard and claims that the fine art pieces fit to budgets of most passionate art lovers.
The group's website, MosqueLamps.com, mentions that in the Islamic faith, lamps were considered to be holding reverence towards God. This thought was prevalent because of a text in the Koran that says in verse 35 of the chapter called "The Light", "God is the light of the heavens and the earth! His light is like a niche in which one finds a lamp. The lamp is made of glass; the glass is like a brilliant star."
The verse saying that there is an analogy between God and light inspired and encouraged the gifting of lamps in the society. Moreover, during the Mamluk period, lamps were necessary for lighting the interiors of mosques during the morning and evening prayers. It was especially important for kings to have their own mosque lamps because mosque lamps displayed nobility, power, and also the blessings on the lamps gave spiritual power to the kingdom. Gradually, the possession of mosque lamps became a sign of the elite and consequently some fine quality timeless pieces of colored and enameled glass mosque lamps came into being. Only the mosque lamps that were of the most superior quality from 13th to 20th century exist today and are owned by only few top private Islamic art, fine art, and Brocard glass collectors and museums.
The group has put up for sale some rare museum-quality mosque lamps on its website.
