Here are all the unique things we were able to collect during our travels to the Middle East and other Arab countries. Antiques, older pieces, oil paintings, unusual and rare handicrafts, etc. Some of paintings are fine copies of most famous Orientalists. Fascination with the Orient created orientalist art trend in late 18 and 19 centuries, and many amazing works date from that era. French, German, British and Italian orientalists (Gerome, Deutsch, and others) are perhaps most famous, but many other artists also created fantastic works. Here you can get fine hand painted copies of these oil paintings, as well as Middle Eastern originals.
