Presentation copy inscribed and signed by the author on title page. Very good hardcover, in very good dustjacket. Tight binding, solid spine, clean unmarked text. Illustrated, large quarto 13” x 10”, illustrated endpapers, 332 pages. Fashion, fabric, shawls, India, Persia, Iran, collecting, repeats, design, art. Although an obscure fashion accessory today, the Kashmir shawl was an expensive and prized possession from the late 18th century with its popularity lasting for around 100 years. Its desirability waned when bustle skirts were introduced. As well as being worn they were draped over sofas, pianos and tables. The book tells of Napoleon's gift of shawls to Josephine which helped initiate the shawl craze in France; over time the empress accumulated hundreds of these costly items.Parviz Nemati engagingly relates the interesting history and design aspects of the shawl. This is followed by the illustration (with generous detailed photographs) of 42 examples of shawls drawn from Nemati's personal collection. These are attractive to behold and are generally of good quality. Be prepared for lots of boteh/paisley patterns which are very commonly featured in this type of textile. Some of the pieces have designs as seen in oriental rugs.The printing quality and color reproduction are above average and this book would be of appeal to those interested in textiles and decorative art. Loc: GL1-5StoreAdd to FavoritesFeedbackPERSIAN TEXTILES FASHION SHAWLS IRAN INDIA HISTORY WEAVING FABRIC KERMAN SIGNED SIGNED PRESENTATION COPYShawls of the East.
