Description

This is a very good hardcover copy in a very good dust jacket with only light wear. Signed and inscribed, by the author, Joseph McMullan, on the half title-page, and dated 1970, at the Metropolitan Museum. The Joseph McMullan Collection of Islamic Carpets was considered one of the finest private collections ever assembled. This book is a suitable tribute to that spectacular collection. The color plates are stunning. Many gate-fold plates. Foreword by Ernst J. Grube, Curator, Department of Islamic Art, Metropolitan Museum. Brief bibliography. 152 textiles catalogued in this book. 12" high X 9" wide, 385 pages. All illustrated, many in color. A few small flaws: two short closed tears to edges of the jacket, the inside blank front jacket flap is creased vertically. A beautiful signed copy of this important book. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
