[Rarebooks] FS: Shawls of the East. From Kerman to Kashmir

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “Shawls of the East. From Kerman to Kashmir”

By Parviz Nemati.
Published by PDN Publishing in 2003.

DISCUSSION: A gorgeous book loaded with color plates of Kashmir and 
Kerman shawls of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries from the collection 
of the author. Information is included on the history of these shawls 
from India and Persia, both as used in their native lands and in Europe 
and America. While Kashmir shawls are the subject of several books 
(though none as sumptuous as this one), Kerman shawls have been less 
well documented, until now. In Iran, these shawls have been woven since 
Safavid times and were used by the male nobility, only becoming an 
article of female apparel when they reached the West. The Nemati family 
spent four generations building the splendid private collection that is 
illustrated and described here.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 10"x13", 335 pages, loaded with color 
illustrations, dust jacket.

CONDITION NOTES: In fine, clean condition.

PRICE: $100 -
