The main research programs
focusing on the Medieval Iranian
World in which the Département des
Arts de l’Islam (dai) is involved deal
with contextualizing the works of art
preserved in the museum’s collection.
Some of the main corpuses of the
dai collection are being studied along
with the Centre de recherche et de
restauration des musées de France
( c 2 rmf ). Metal wares and metallic lustre
wares from the Iranian World, which
have in common the use of metal in the
process of art creation, are the subject
of two major programs: islametal and
medieval kâshi project.
islmetal concerns the understanding
of materials, techniques and gesture of
creation that led to the production of
metal wares in the Great Iranian World
( c.10
th
-15
th
centuries). One of its main
goals is the denition of their context
of creation understood as: technical,
geographical, human and historical. In
other words: how were those objects
made, where, in which production
context, and for whom.
medieval kâshi project focuses on
Medieval Iranian tiles from the 13th –
14
th
centuries. Their contextualization is
based on the survey of main collections
of Iranian lustre tiles - currently a
scattered heritage - in Iran, Europe,
United States. The program aims to
collect new data through historical
inscriptions and to reconstitute tiles’
historiography through the archives
and by examining original monuments.
