DESCRIPTION & CONDITION:
By Parviz
Nemati
.
Published by PDN Publishing in 2003.
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.
Hardcover. 10"x13", 335 pages, loaded with color illustrations, dust jacket. Fine condition.
