Dubai, 26 December, 2012: Global Village, the region’s leading Cultural,
Shopping and Entertainment family outdoor destination, is hosting a large
number of exhibitors showcasing, niche art works, in addition to a large number
of aesthetic handmade items to prompt art aficionados to explore the beauty of
manmade imperfection. From embroidered fabrics and sheets, gemstones and
magnificent art pieces, antique Ottoman designs to rare Oudh tree incense,
Global Village is revamped every year with precious, limited edition or one of
a kind feel.
At the Iranian Pavilion, the beauty of Persian carpets
is exhilarating. The 3-million AED signature Persian carpet set of two pieces,
is showcased to reinforce the special design of historic Persian warriors and
rulers, type of wool and colors consumed to make these two masterpieces. Prices
vary depending upon stories told by vendors about the craftsmanship of each and
every piece. Meanwhile, the Afghanis as well as the Turkmen equally pride
themselves for having mastered the same art. Be it, pure wool or silk or a mix
of both, carpet lovers can enjoy the look and feel of the countries popular for
this craft and for using eco-friendly colors as it is a sign of good health at
the home it coats. 
The most expensive amethyst work is a painting worth
50,000 AED and a sofa made of Anaconda leather and 480,000 pieces of stones and
amethyst worth 60,000 AED at the Turkish pavilion. While the Brazilian pavilion
showcases domestic Brazilian stones and Amethyst with the most expensive piece
costing 20,000 AED. Both exhibitors assure the value of such precious and
semi-precious stones in providing positive energy to
homes.
Art at Global Village is priceless and includes
artists from the Levant region, North Africa, Turkey, Iraq and the rest of the
world. From Ayad Al Ameedy at the Iraqi Pavilion using oil on canvass to
reinstate the lifelong history of Mesopotamian art, to Hakam Al Tahir at the
Jordanian pavilion expressing calligraphy on glass. Nevertheless, Sijin Tajil,
the artist at the Iranian Pavilion has her own style as she includes details of
Persian carpet designs in her paintings of oil on canvass.
