Title: Rare Persian Lustreware Vase Plate from Wallis, Limited Edition, 1899 Description: A rare and visually striking chromolithographic plate depicting a bottle-shaped Persian lustreware vase dating from the 13th century. Richly decorated with Arabic calligraphy, stylized birds, floral arabesques, and shimmering polychrome ornament, the original ceramic exemplifies the artistic refinement of medieval Persian pottery traditions. This plate was published in Henry Wallis's important study Persian Lustre Vases, privately printed in London in 1899 in a strictly limited edition of only 200 copies. Wallis was among the pioneering British scholars and collectors who helped introduce Islamic decorative arts to European audiences at the close of the nineteenth century. Printed using the sophisticated chromolithographic techniques of the Victorian era, the image faithfully captures the iridescent qualities and intricate surface decoration of the original vessel. The work possesses both scholarly significance and exceptional decorative appeal, making it ideal for collectors of Islamic art, Persian ceramics, and nineteenth-century design publications. Sold unframed. Framing images are for inspiration only. Creator: Henry Wallis (1811–1891), published posthumously, London. Date: 1899 Medium: Original chromolithograph on paper. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related foxing and light toning throughout. Minor edge wear and traces of removal from the original folio volume. The image itself remains bright and highly decorative. Provenance: From Persian Lustre Vases, London, 1899. Printed for private circulation in an edition limited to 200 copies.

Set of 6 Ottoman Costume Prints, Hand-Colored Engravings, 1767 Description: A highly decorative and cohesive set of six original hand-colored engravings depicting figures in Ottoman dress, published in London in 1767 by Thomas Jefferys, Geographer to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. These prints originate from the important 18th-century publication *A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations, Ancient and Modern*, a work that reflects Europe’s growing fascination with global cultures and costume traditions. The engravings are based on designs after notable artists such as Holbein, Van Dyke, and Hollar, and combine ethnographic interest with refined decorative appeal. Each engraving presents a full-length figure in traditional Ottoman attire, rendered with clarity and elegance against a clean background. The garments—flowing robes, layered textiles, and distinctive headwear—are highlighted through delicate and well-preserved hand coloring. The set includes the following figures: Habit of the Greek Sultana, 1749 Habit of the White Sultana, 1749 Habit of the Black Sultana, 1749 Habit of a Turkish Lady of the Grand Seignior’s Seraglio, 1568 Habit of the Janesary Aga, or Chief Commandant of the Janissaries Habit of the Tchorbadgi, or Captain of the Janissaries, 1700 This grouping forms a harmonious and balanced composition, particularly suitable for a symmetrical wall display. With a consistent scale and palette, the set offers a refined decorative presence while retaining strong historical character. Such costume engravings are increasingly valued for their versatility in interior design, bridging 18th-century craftsmanship with contemporary decorative aesthetics. Interior mockups shown are for inspiration only. All prints are original antiques, not reproductions, and are sold unframed. Condition: Very good condition overall. Light age toning as expected. Occasional minor spotting in the margins. Strong impressions with original hand color. Plate marks visible. Framing tips: Best presented in identical dark walnut or ebonized frames with wide ivory mats. Hang as a symmetrical grid (3 × 2 or 2 × 3) for a refined and balanced wall composition.

Distinguished Victorian Gentleman – Vanity Fair “White Dal” Spy Portrait 1883 Description: This original Vanity Fair chromolithograph titled “White Dal” was published on September 22, 1883 and drawn by the celebrated Vanity Fair artist Leslie Ward, who worked under the famous pseudonym “Spy.” The portrait depicts Sir William Dalrymple, a notable British figure whose distinguished appearance and social standing made him an ideal subject for Vanity Fair’s celebrated series of satirical portraits. Ward portrays Dalrymple standing in profile with a composed and slightly formal posture. He is dressed in the refined attire typical of a well-established Victorian gentleman: a tailored frock coat, waistcoat with watch chain, crisp high-collared shirt, and neatly tied bow tie. His distinctive white side-whiskers—likely the inspiration behind the nickname “White Dal”—are rendered with careful detail, adding personality to the portrait while maintaining the elegant restraint characteristic of Leslie Ward’s work. During the late nineteenth century, Vanity Fair magazine became widely known for its weekly caricatures of prominent public figures. These portraits depicted politicians, aristocrats, military officers, artists, sportsmen, and influential members of society. While humorous in tone, the images were often respectful portrayals that captured both the physical likeness and social character of their subjects. Leslie Ward’s contributions to Vanity Fair are among the most admired within the series. His ability to combine gentle satire with refined portraiture allowed him to create images that were both entertaining and historically informative. Today these portraits serve as a visual record of the personalities who shaped Victorian public life. The print was produced using chromolithography and printed by the renowned London firm Vincent Brooks, Day & Son, one of the leading color printers of the period. Their high-quality printing techniques allowed for subtle tonal variations and soft shading, which remain visible in the delicate rendering of the clothing and facial features. Vanity Fair portraits such as this have become highly collectible decorative works, admired for their historical character, distinctive style, and elegant Victorian aesthetic. They continue to appeal to collectors of British political history as well as interior designers seeking refined nineteenth-century portrait prints. Condition: Very good condition with light age toning and occasional minor foxing consistent with age. Margins remain generous and colors well preserved. Framing tips: This portrait displays beautifully in a dark walnut or ebonized frame with an ivory or warm cream museum mat. A generous mat border enhances the elegant vertical format and complements the soft Victorian color palette.
