First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 36 by 26cm., 256pp., fully illustrated in colour. Islamic art of the 19th century has received very little attention, and this is the first work devoted entirely to the subject. Through a series of essays and the entries on 188 objects in various media, the catalogue reflects the issues confronting Islamic artists and their patrons in the 19th century, namely the desire to maintain traditional forms of expression with their requisite skills, while acknowledging a need to develop new modes of expression suitable for the modern world. The first section of the book examines objects related to the Muslim faith and its expansion through Africa and South-east Asia. The second discusses the effect of royal patronage on the arts of the Ottoman empire, Iran and the Muslim courts of India. Domestic items are the subject of the third section. The concluding chapters examine Islam's interaction with the West through objects made both in Europe and in the Islamic lands, including the revival of Mamluk and Safavid styles. With slipcase (slight wear).

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 36.5 by 26.5cm., 240pp. fully illustrated in colour and line drawings, section on documentary inscriptions. This is a lavishly illustrated presentation of the Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art's collection of arms and armor. The items range in date from the seventh to the nineteenth centuries A.D. In avoiding the strictly typological classification of most previous catalogues of the subject, the aim is to give a full sense of the panoply of warfare: the stirrup, the drum, and the talismanic shirt were as important to the Muslim warrior as the sword and the mail shirt. David Alexander, the leading authority on Islamic arms and armor, has provided a detailed scholarly guide to this outstanding collection. With slipcase.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 2 Vols., 36 by 26.5cm., 439 pp., fully illustrated in colour, blue slip-case (wear and fading). This two-part work, vol. XII from The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art, contains a large and important group of objects and manuscripts that may be broadly categorised as scientific instruments, tools or magical implements. Many objects of this kind have never before been systematically catalogued, and this volume brings together much information previously scattered to present a corpus of material for future comparative study. The astronomical instruments are those primarily connected with the fundamental concerns of Islamic astronomy determining the times of prayer and the direction of Mecca and the teaching and practice of cosmology and astrology. The Collection includes important individual pieces, among them a fine celestial globe made in 1285 6 and a unique Judeo-Arabic astrolabe of c. 1300. Another 218 entries include medical manuscripts, magic bowls, amulets and other magical or geomantic devices that reflect different aspects of medieval Islamic medical care, while a group of mortars, a selection from the large collection of locks, and miscellaneous tools such as scissors, scales and weights, complete this survey of objects which embody the varied preoccupations of Islamic culture. The information presented includes a ground-breaking study of leather workers in medieval Iran. Bottom edge of both volumes each with four felt tip remainder marks (please see images).

Khalili Collection contains a remarkable group of more than 600 finger rings from the Islamic world and beyond. These rings provide a rare opportunity to survey the history of this form in the Middle East and southern Asia over the last two millennia, for the oldest examples are two Hellenistic glass rings from the second or first century B.C., while the most recent dated specimen is a signet made in India in 1920. This wealth of evidence has allowed the author to present a typology of Islamic rings within a broad chronological framework, and the color illustrations standard to the series have been supplemented by several drawings of each ring.'.
