Abstract The article considers the ways in which traditional manual crafts in Egypt and Syria adapted to the challenges of the importation of mass-produced goods from Europe and changes in taste among local and foreign purchasers. While some crafts did not prosper in this environment, the evidence from surviving objects and primary sources indicates high levels of experimentation, including the creative use of new materials and technologies. The main part of the article presents a case study concerning four undated inlaid brass stands imitating a Mamluk original made for the sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun in 1327–28. This stand was first exhibited in 1881, and was reproduced in several publications prior to 1900. The study concentrates on the treatment of the inlaid epigraphy, establishing formal differences between the prototype and the copies, as well as pointing out significant divergences between the copies themselves. The latter part of the case study considers the dissemination of specific motifs from the stand of al-Nasir Muhammad onto other types of Mamluk revival metalwork, such as boxes and trays. This comparative analysis offers a means to understand working practices and interrelationships between workshops.

复兴过去和面对现在:叙利亚和埃及的手工艺,c。1875-1925 年

摘要 本文考虑了埃及和叙利亚的传统手工工艺如何适应从欧洲进口大量生产的商品以及本地和外国购买者口味变化的挑战。虽然一些手工艺在这种环境下没有发展起来,但幸存的物体和主要来源的证据表明实验水平很高,包括创造性地使用新材料和技术。本文的主要部分介绍了一个案例研究,涉及四个未注明日期的镶嵌黄铜支架,模仿 1327-28 年为苏丹 al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun 制作的 Mamluk 原件。这个支架于 1881 年首次展出,并在 1900 年之前的几本出版物中被复制。该研究集中于镶嵌金石的处理,建立原型和副本之间的形式差异,并指出副本本身之间的重大差异。案例研究的后半部分考虑了从 al-Nasir Muhammad 展台到其他类型的 Mamluk 复兴金属制品(例如盒子和托盘)上的特定图案的传播。这种比较分析提供了一种了解工作实践和研讨会之间相互关系的方法。
