Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. 36.5 by 26.5vm., 240pp., fully illustrated in colour. The 56 items presented here include a Qur'an section written in gold in 12th-century Iraq; one of a small group of Qur'ans known to have been produced in Valencia in the same period; and what may be the earliest surviving Qur'an from India. Even more remarkable is a section from a 30-part Qur'an written by Yaqut al-Musta'simi, the greatest Islamic calligrapher of the later Middle Ages: other sections from the same Qur'an are in Istanbul and Dublin, but this is the only one to retain its original illumination.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. 36 by 26cm., 270 pp., fully illustrated in colour, plus full colour facsimile of the Khalili manuscript; section on text with translations. Originally commissioned by the Safavid ruler Shah Tahmasp in the mid-16th century, the Falnamah, or Book of Omens , is the only illustrated manuscript solely dedicated to the subject of divination. The stories illustrated, drawn from sacred and secular sources, were used to cast horoscopes and interpret one s future. Five copies of the work survive, but the Khalili manuscript, which was produced in Golconda in the early 17th century under the auspices of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, is the only one known to have been made in India. It bears some similarities to Shah Tahmasp's volume, but the majority of its content is distinct to it. In this volume, Dr Rachel Parikh first traces the origins of the Falnamah and discusses the Book of Omens as a genre. She then examines the Khalili volume by providing a codicological study; analyzing the sources for, and the iconography of, its 37 illustrations; and surveying the context of its creation in Golconda and its subsequent impact. The volume will also include a facsimile reproduction of the entire manuscript and a translation of its text. With slipcase.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. 36.5 by 26.5cm. This volume is from a two-part set. The first part starts with the Ilkhanid pottery, which is extensive; it is particularly strong in blue-glazed lajvardina and lustre tilework, although virtually all types are represented. Judicious collecting has also created an important research resource for understanding the transition from Ilkhanid to Timurid styles. The pottery from Timurid Iran and Central Asia of the 15th century is noteworthy both because it is barely represented in other collections and because it enables links between Chinese and Islamic wares to be explored. This volume includes a small but important group of vessels and sherds from Mamluk Egypt and Syria. With slipcase. In publisher's shrink-wrap.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. 2 vols. 36 by 26cm., fully illustrated in colour, 574 pages (the set), section on technical analysis. The Nasser D. Khalili Collection includes more than 250 textiles, embroideries, carpets and costumes from across the Islamic lands dating from the 6th to the 19th centuries. This volume is in two parts, the first covering early Central Asia, Iran and Egypt, the Ottoman Empire and North Africa; the second covering later Iran and Central Asia, as well as India. The earliest textiles, of c. 6th century date, show Sasanian influence, while a group of Abbasid and Fatimid tiraz bands represent the emergence of an alternative tradition. More outstanding artistically are the Safavid and Ottoman gold brocades and velvets, and individual pieces such as a section of a silk and silver chasuble from Ottoman Bursa. A beautiful group of woven silks from Sultanate and Mughal India is of particular importance. The 'classical carpets' include examples from Mamluk, Safavid, Ottoman and Mughal royal workshops. Notable among the Ottoman carpets is a spectacular star Ushak. The Iranian carpets include a 16th-century Kashan medallion type in near perfect condition. The Collection is particularly rich in costumes, not often represented in other collections. These range from Ottoman shirts painted with talismanic inscriptions to the famous Kashmir shawls to some spectacular ikat coats and embroidered mantles from 19th-century Central Asia. With slipcase. In publisher's shrink-wrap.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. 2 Vols., 36 by 26.5cm., 703 pp., fully illustrated in colour. The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art provides an unrivalled resource for the study of Islamic jewellery, with nearly 600 catalogued pieces in gold, silver and copper alloys, of all periods from the 7th to the 20th centuries and from throughout the Islamic world Spain to Malaysia, and Africa to the Eurasian steppes. Various sectors of production and clienteles are represented, from the court to bespoke jewellery to the urban marketplace. The jewellery also illustrates a correspondingly wide range of techniques and materials, including all the main methods of working gold, silver and copper alloys and their decoration especially filigree, niello, enamel and the setting of gems. Inevitably some periods, areas and techniques are better represented than others, but overall the Collection is remarkably comprehensive and in some areas, such as the Fatimid filigree, is among the finest in the world.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. 36.5 by 26.5cm., 373pp., fully illustrated in colour. This second volume of 'A Rival to China' comprises Ottoman pottery and tiles from the 16th to the 19th century, and an impressive range of Safavid and Qajar ceramics covering almost every known type. A recurring theme of this volume is the impact of Chinese porcelains, and this part features some Far Eastern imports, particularly items made specifically for the Middle Eastern market. It also includes European pieces that paid homage to Ottoman ceramics, alongside Iranian pottery and tiles made primarily for the orientalist market in Europe. The material in this part vividly illustrates the diverse currents in ceramic production in the central Islamic lands in the time of the Gunpowder Empires. With slipcase. In publisher's shrink-wrap.…
