Art of the Chair in Eighteenth Century France, Bill G.B. Pallot, 1989
About the Item
The eighteenth century French chair ranks among the most elegant
of furniture forms, admired both for its beauty and for the
essential role it played in French life. Until now one could scarcely
have guessed at the complicated background from which it
evolved, or the amount of highly specialized labor which went into
the manufacture of each chair.
Although there have been a good half dozen books published on
the subject, all but two have been essentially picture books.
Pierre Verlet's volume on menuiserie, and Svend Eriksen's
excellent study of the chairmaker Louis Delanois , both took a close
look at the subject of chairmaking, neither delved deeply into such
important topics as the rigid division of labor according to guild
rules, the techniques of manufacture, or the personalities and family
liasons of the craftsmen involved. This book does all that, and does
it admirably.

- Ikat, Silks of Central Asia, the Guido Goldman Collection, 1997Located in San Francisco, CAAbr-bandi, the central asian name for the ikat technique, derives from the Persian word abr which means "cloud". The ikat style is not limited to Central Asia, but nowhere have the ikat designs known as abr, or the technique itself proved so enduring or so gloriously inventive as in the ancient centers of Uzbek and Tadjik handicrafts- Bukhara, Samrkand and the towns of the Ferghana Valley. The craftsmanship of the abr masters, the abr bandchi, was their patrimony; their secrets and their repertoire of designs were handed down through the generations. Yet this art form has always been responsive to change and receptive to new weaving methods created to simplify the process without sacrifice of artistry. In the nineteenth century abr designs were used to decorate fabrics made into winter and summer...Category
