An Ottoman metal thread embroidered silk Tomb Cover with a dedication to Sultan Ahmed III, rectangular, heavily embroidered in silver thread on black, cream, red and green grounds, the middle section depicting a pointed archway filled with scrolling vines, surmounted by acanthus columns, an oil lamp hanging from the central point filled with inscription, flanked by two inscription-filled friezes on a red ground, the lamp linked to a tear-shaped roundel bearing inscriptions on a red ground, a stylised palm tree on either side, above the archway a large inscription-filled frieze, the upper and lower border with alternating trefoil and tree motif, backed 235 x 203 cmProvenance: From a Private Collection purchased by the current owner at Bonhams London, lot 178, 25th October 2007The inscriptions read as follows:On the large frieze at the top: sura XXXIII al-ahzab, verse 45;On the oil lamp, 'he who opens';The two cartouches on either side of the oil lamp, 'And may the Mighty God be pleased with Abu Bakr and Umar and Uthman and Ali and all (Prophet's) companions';The tear-shaped cartouche, 'Oh Prophet of God! our Lord Sultan Ahmad seeks intercessions. This is the Prophet's mihrab'.The saying 'This is the prophet's mihrab', suggests this panel decorated the interior of the shrine of the Prophet in Medina. These hangings were replaced when an Ottoman Sultan ascended to the throne (cf. Stephen Vernoit,The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art: Occidentalism, London, 1997, pp. 27-33). When taken down, the panels would either have been sent back to the Sultan's palaces in Istanbul, used as tomb covers, or distributed among dignitaries and the nobility.Two other textile panels with similar columns flanking the inscriptions, that decorated the tomb of the prophet Ibrahim in Mecca, were sold at Sotheby's (Arts of the Islamic World, London, 5th April 2006, lot 25) and Christie's (Islamic Art and Manuscripts, London, 26th April 2005, lot 49).Condition Report: some staining and wear and loss and damage to metal thread Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition Condition Report Disclaimer

* Charles (1948) Prince of Wales & Diana (1961-1997) Princess of Wales. A large slice of cake icing and marzipan base from one of the 23 official wedding cakes made for the Royal Wedding of HRH Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on Wednesday 29th July 1981, the white icing with a sugared onlay of the Royal Coat-of-Arms coloured in gold, red, blue, and silver, a small silver horseshoe and leaf spray adjacent, some white decorative icing tracery laid on top at head and foot, partly cracked and slight damage to shield of crest and other extremities, approximately 20 x 18 x 4cm, and 800 grams (28 oz) weight, preserved in cling film and supported on a card and tin foil base in an old cake tin with hand-made manuscript paper label signed by M[oyra] Smith taped to lidQty: (4)NOTESThis layer of cake icing was given to Moyra Smith, an employee to the Queen Mother at Clarence House. Moyra began her career at Clarence House in the kitchen before moving on to more general duties on the recommendation of Lady Jean Rankin. Besides the main official five-tier wedding cake, some 22 other wedding cakes were supplied by various manufacturers and this seems likely to have been one sent to Clarence House for the consumption of the Queen Mother's staff. In view of its size, it is most likely that it was either from the side of a cake, or from the top of a single-tier cake. This slice of 40-year-old cake icing was acquired from Dominic Winter Auctioneers on 27 August 2008 (lot 301) when it was sold on behalf of Moyra's family. It appears to be in exactly the same good condition as when originally sold, but we advise against eating it, and the royal letter and bottle of commemorative beer that accompanied the lot are not present. However, included here are printed Ceremonial and Order of Service programmes for the wedding in St Paul's Cathedral, and a memorial Royal Wedding Breakfast programme for Buckingham Palace, all 29 July 1981.
