1908 Burlington Arts Club Catalogue: Faience of Persia & Near East, 27 Plates
About the Item
Burlington Fine Arts Club: Exhibition of the Faience of Persia and the Nearer East.
Published: London, 1908
Printed by Chiswick Press
This exquisite and rare folio volume showcases an important 1908 exhibition by the Burlington Fine Arts Club, dedicated to the faience of Persia and surrounding regions.
The catalog features 27 finely executed plates, including beautifully reproduced color plates that vividly capture the intricate designs and rich heritage of Persian and Near Eastern ceramic art. Each plate is meticulously protected with tissue guards, preserving the illustrations with minimal spotting, limited mostly to the text and scarcely affecting the plates.
Highlights and Features:
- Folio size provides a grand presentation, enhancing the impact of each plate.
- Plates are comprehensive and in excellent condition, presenting both Persian and Syrian ceramics with vibrant detail.
- Illustrated with captivating full-page plates that include detailed descriptions of unique ceramic pieces.
- Bound in the original publisher's cloth with an elegant gilt title on the front board and spine, the volume also features a gilt top edge, adding a refined touch.
Condition Report:
The cloth binding remains in good condition with some gentle rubbing, mostly at the edges, but otherwise very well-preserved given its age. The gilt titling on the front board is clear and bright, contributing to its striking visual appeal on display. Internally, the pages show some spotting, typical of volumes from this period, but it does not detract from the beauty and clarity of the plates.
This catalog is a must-have for collectors of Persian art or those interested in historical ceramics from the Near East. Its limited print run by the renowned Chiswick Press makes it a valuable piece of art history. Ideal for display in private libraries or galleries, this volume offers a rare glimpse into the ceramic artistry of Persia and the Near East, as seen through the lens of an early 20th-century European art club.

Circa 1691 Frederick de Wit Map: Middle East with Arabia, Persia & More
This exquisite hand-colored map, circa 1691, by Frederick de Wit, illustrates the Middle East, spanning from Turkey and Egypt to Afghanistan, with a detailed representation of the Arabian Peninsula.
The map's detailing in Arabia is based on Nicolas Sanson's influential 1654 map, which was one of the most accurate and detailed depictions of the region up to the mid-seventeenth century.
The decorative title cartouche is richly adorned with images of exotic figures, animals, and a merchant ship, symbolizing the region's historical trade importance. Additionally, a mapmaker is shown working with traditional tools, adding a touch of authenticity to the cartographic art.
This is the fourth state of the map, published between 1691 and 1696. The map measures 21.8 inches in width by 18.5 inches in height, featuring a sharp impression, with minimal staining and a carefully repaired centerfold separation at the bottom.
