Torrijos Ceiling, V&A East, London, England
From the exhibit caption: “an ornate carved ceiling from a palace in Torrijos, revealing the Islamic influence on craft practices in medieval Spain.
The ceiling was built about 1490 using strapwork carpentry, a construction technique that creates patterns from interlacing strips of wood.
An Arabic phrase is repeated in the white plaster ... 'you drink from happiness', suggesting that the original room below the ceiling was used for entertainment. By the 1890s, the palace was in poor condition and the owners sold the intact parts. The V&A bought this ceiling in 1905.
MAKER:
Unrecorded artisans
LOCATION AND DATE:
Torrijos, Spain. About 1490
MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES:
Pine wood, carved, painted and gilded, with modern plaster of Paris panels”
