Nuhad Es-Said (March 10th, 1937) is a Lebanese-Palestinian businessman and collector.[1]
Early life[edit]
Nuhad Es-Said was born to a Palestinian father, Fuad Mahmoud Es-Said and a Lebanese mother, Salwa Badr Dimishkieh[1] on March 10th 1937 in Jaffa Palestine. Two sisters, Rima, and Hala followed him. The 1948 Palestine war, known in Arabic as al-Nakba[2] (النكبة, "The Catastrophe") begun, and the family had to flee Palestine thinking that it will be for the duration of a short conflict. They set up home in Beirut.[3]
Education[edit]
The Lebanese president granted them the nationality, and Nuhad attended primary school at Miss Amina’s preparatory school, and then moved to Brummana High School[4], from which he graduated in 1956. He went to Cambridge[5] from where he graduated in 1959 with a BA degree in International Law and Business.
Career[edit]
That year, he joined the family firm, Transmediterranean SAL[6] founded in 1946 by his father Fuad Es-Said and two associates. The company's core activities were in the sales and distribution of international brands. Under his leadership the company became a Pan Arab organization, operating in several countries like UAE and Jordan, Syria and Iraq.
Art collecting[edit]
Collecting aesthetically beautiful objects was a passion he developed over the years. He collected lighters, cufflinks, cars, watches, manuscripts and Impressionist paintings: whatever he could afford at the time.[7]
That led him to his main passion, the collection of Islamic Metalwork[8]. He traded miscellaneous items he accumulated throughout his younger years, and begun building his collection, with the help of Islamic Art dealer Oliver Hoare.[9]
The Nuhad Es-Said Collection of Islamic metalwork[8] was one of the finest in private hands. It contains examples of inlaid bronzes and brasses from 6th/12th and 7th/13th Herat and 7th/13th century Mosul, from Ayvubid Syria, Saljuk Anatolia, the Mamluk Empire, the Delhi sultanate, and from Il-Khanid, Timurid and Safavid Iran.
Inlaid with gold, silver and copper, and bearing planetary and astrological figures, mystical symbols, and effusive dedications to sultans and petty rulers. These objects take the reader into a world where superstition, religion and politics jostle for supremacy, and therefore are evidence, that works of art reflect the societies they serve.
Personal life[edit]
During the summer of 1958, when most families fled Lebanon due to another internal Lebanese conflict[10], he met his future wife, Salma, eldest daughter of the late Abdul Rahim Diab and late Chafica Azem. They were married in July 1960, and had five children. In 1975, when the Lebanese civil war broke, he and the family left to London, but later returned to Beirut.
Nuhad Es-Said was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease at age 38 years old. He died on October 26 1982, at the age of 45. His wife took over the management of the company and the upbringing of the family.[11]
