Summary of article in Billed Bladet #38, 2011.
Mary og Frederiks arabiske aften - Mary and Frederik's Arabian evening.
Written by Dorte Quist.
On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of Carsten Nieburh's expedition to Arabia (*) there was a celebration in the DR network's culturehouse, in the foyer to be exact, which had been turned into an Arabian bazaar.
Here a concert was to be held.
M&F arrived half an hour before the concert were to begin to have a look at the market. Among those they met was their carpet dealer or carpet salesman or whatever a carpet tradesman is called. His name is Boris Zeichner and he specialise in oriental carpets. He said: "We now each other, because the CP couple has for many years bought carpets from me.
The CP couple always choose Persian knitted carpets and now they need carpets in a couple of rooms more and an underlaying base for those carpets I've sold them previously. So I'm going to Amalienborg again, to get an impression of colors, sizes and style in the new rooms. Then I'll show up afterwards with some carpets, which they choose from".
(*) In the early 1700's Arabia was practically unknown land for the Europeans and certainly from a scientific and anthropological point of view.
In 1761 Carsten Niebuhr and and six other scientists were send out on an expedition to Arabia by King Frederik V.
Carsten Nieburh returned seven years later as the sole survivor. He wrote a book titled: "The Happy Arabia". And the notes from the expedition were pretty sensational at the time. It was solid scientific work. Carsten Niebuhr seems to have had a very positive experience with the Arabian cultures.
