Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Specimens Illustrative of Persian and Arab Art Exhibited in 1885 Bthe date ad. 1217, to those produced in this century. All have their special charms, but for the quality of the lustre and the severe grace of the designs, the earlier, as for example those bearing the date 1262 (nos. 32, 33, certainly display the highest artistic qualities. We have no reason to suppose that these tiles are the earliest examples of Persian lustre ware, While, it may be remarked, in Italy the art does not appear to have been practised until the end of the 1sth or the beginning of the loth centuries.

Download or read book Private Collectors of Islamic Art in Late Nineteenth Century London written by Isabelle Gadoin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines British collectors of so-called Persian art (a broad umbrella term then covering a large portion of Islamic art) in the late 19th century, including ceramics, metalwork, carpets, textiles and woodwork. Based on a foundational event, the very first exhibition of “Persian and Arab Art” held by a London Gentlemen’s Club in 1885, this book follows one generation of men, retracing the subtle shades of difference among “amateurs,” “connoisseurs,” “experts” and “collectors,” and exploring all the mechanisms of the construction of a collective fascination for the Orient. Isabelle Gadoin uncovers some of the first “scientific” analyses of Islamic objects and of the first private notebooks or exhibition catalogues, to provide an in-depth study of the way Westerners talked about Islamic objects and began to define what would become Islamic art history. All the while, Gadoin unravels the skein of Western prejudice, Romantic fancy, sincere admiration and ruthless appropriation, in art collecting, to write a new chapter of Orientalist history. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, history of collecting, colonialism and postcolonialism, and Orientalism.
