Islamic Face Veil, Egyptian Bedouin Desert Garment Nikab Framed Collectible
Located in Moreno Valley, CA
Museum-Quality Antique Middle Eastern Islamic / Bedouin Niqab Face Veil, Mid-20th Century, with Silver Coins & Amulets
A rare and museum-quality iddle Eastern Islamic / Bedouin woman’s face veil (niqab), Egypt, circa 1920–1940.
Traditionally worn by Bedouin women during weddings and ceremonial occasions, this extraordinary piece represents the finest examples of tribal jewelry, textile art, and Middle Eastern embroidery.
Design & Craftsmanship:
* Worked on a base of fine red silk and cotton embroidery, richly adorned with antique Ottoman silver coins.
* Heavily decorated lower edge with nickel silver amulets in the form of protective hands, believed to ward off the Evil Eye.
* Intricate tassels, chains, add movement and texture.
* Preserved in a custom lucite display box for protection and presentation.

* Worn only during special events such as weddings and feasts, their ornate decoration distinguished them from the simpler everyday niqab.
* Each veil reflects the identity of the tribe, with regional variations in embroidery, color, and adornment.

Antique, New and Vintage Shadow Boxes
Antique, new and vintage shadow boxes are an elegant way to present objects of deep importance or beauty in your space. Shadow boxes have long been a military tradition for displaying medals and awards.
Artists such as Joseph Cornell have used shadow boxes because of the dramatic visuals they can achieve as a three-dimensional piece. In recent years, shadow boxes have grown in popularity as home decor. A clean, empty shadow box presents everyone the opportunity to create a personal art piece. What goes into the shadow box solely depends on the artist’s vision, meaning there is no concrete design that each shadow box displays.
Shadow boxes vary in size and style, lending flexibility for different aesthetics in a room. They can also come premade or with only a frame for more customization and personalization. When you’re thinking about how to arrange art in your living room or dining room, integrating shadow boxes into a maximalist approach such as a salon-style gallery wall can add a dramatic touch and draw attention to whatever kind of work you’ve decided to place in the box.
On 1stDibs, find antique, vintage and 21st-century shadow boxes. Shadow boxes are available from a range of creators and in diverse styles, including mid-century modern, Victorian, folk art and more.
