A FINELY EMBROIDERED MUGHAL SUMMER CARPET OR FLOOR SPREADINDIAN, 18TH/19TH CENTURY The cotton ground richly decorated in the asymmetric "bizarre silk" manner with tamboured coloured silks with exotic birds, monkeys, butterflies and animals - possibly pangolin - amidst delicate flowering vines bearing a variety of blooms, handwritten label to reverse "Col S R Clarke. Borde Hill. Haywards Heath. Sussex" approximately 252 x 222cmProvenance:Colonel Stephenson Robert Clarke (1862-1948), Borde Hill House, West Sussex The 17th century physician and traveller Francois Bernier recounts in his book "Travels In The Mogul Empire AD 1656-1668" (published 1891) that in the "good" houses of the Omrahs (the highest ranking official in the Indian Muslim courts) the floors were covered with "a cotton mattress four inches in thickness, over which a fine white cloth is spread during the summer, and a silk carpet in the winter." Summer cloths (spreads/carpets) were typically decorated in symmetrical designs, with repeating floral patterns- often centred on a medallion with matching spandrels and large borders. The effect would be of a formalised flower garden- for the guests and visitors inside. Rarer examples, such as this lot, display a more asymmetric, meandering design- characteristic of the European taste for "Bizarre Silk" from the late 17th/early 18th century period. The term "Bizarre Silk" was first coined by Vilhelm Slomann in his book "Bizarre Designs in Silks" (1953). In it he postulated that the form was derived from India- an idea subsequently refuted. In this case the very opposite transfer of design inspiration seems to have taken place. Colonel Stephenson R. Clarke, purchased Borde Hill in 1893 after travels to New Zealand and service with the Royal Sussex Light Infantry in South Africa. A keen naturalist and horticulturist he sponsored expeditions by plant and tree collectors across the world. They returned with rare specimens brought back from their travels in the Himalayas, China, Burma, Tasmania and the Andes- many of which he planted in his own gardens.For a related 'Summer carpet' see Woolley & Wallis, Salisbury, 6th October 2022, lot 371.
