AMERICART ART ASSOCIATION, American Art Galleries, Madison Square South, New York City. A FOREWORD The antique Oriental textiles, pottery and other interest- ing objects of Mohammedan art which are described in the following pages of the catalogue are noteworthy, and deserv- ing of the special attention of connoisseurs, amateurs and the general art—loving public. The collection embraces a total of over five hundred num— bers. Of these three hundred and eight are Persian, Caucasian, Asia Minor, Turkoman, Hispano—Moresque and Chinese rugs, dating from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries and rep- resentative of the very best types in their several classes. In this brief introductory it is not possible to go into detail, but special mention must be made of the Iranian carpets, woven in Northern Persia, which furnish the best representa- tion of the productions of the sixteenth century, and mark the summit of the weavers’ and dyers’ art, notably the beautiful Ispahan court carpets; also the stately creations from the Ardebil, Kurdistan, l/Ieshed and Sehna looms, including royal triclinium ceremonial floor panels. There are also exceptional Asia Minor prayer and shrine rugs, including truly remarkable Ghiordez, Koula, Ladik and Rhodian examples, and among the Caucasian rugs are Kabistan, Kuba, Daghistan and other choice specimens. Those from the Turkoman and Afghan looms include representative royal Bokhara, Yomud, Khivaand Tekke productions. There are also included in this remarkable collection interesting Hispano— Moresque carpets and various Kilims of exceptional quality and large size. Among other treasures and objects suitable for museums will be found fine specimens of Persian and Saracenic pottery coming from Ispahan, Koubatcha, Rhages, Rakka (Meso- potamian) and Rhodian kilns, including jars, tiles, plates, Gombrun, “rice-grain” and other bowls. Among the other Oriental treasures are specimens of rare cloth-of—gold brocade, Persian lacquers and jewelry, among the latter a ring, formerly in possession of the Khedive Ismail of Egypt, composed of a ‘large ruby, an emerald and a sapphire, surrounded with small diamonds. Varied antique Saracenic and European arms and armor of considerable interest are also included. It may be stated in conclusion that all the rugs are antique in character and untreated. As far as it has been possible the proper name, or provenance, of each rug has been given, as the place of origin often determines values. In ancient times the art of both dyer and weaver was among the most honored callings. Vegetable dyes, then ex- clusively used and carefully made, and the mellowing process of time (which is wanting in more recent productions) have added their shimmering luster on many of these rugs, which also show such tranquil perseverance, dexterity of hand and patience without equal, living in the worship of their art; thus one can conceive the secret of these miracles coming from the older looms, the glories of such Oriental craftsman art, remaining unsurpassed and astonishing in our day.

RARE ECCLESIASTICAL VESTMENTS ANTIQUE TEXTILES AND EMBROIDERIES, AND PERSIAN TILES 4:90—515'1‘ or SIXTEETH CENTURY CLOTH—OF-GOLD EccLE— SIASTICAL VEsTMENTs At the beginning of the seventeenth century a Polish priest in Warsaw was presented with these ecclesiastical vestments. They were made from a wonderful cloth—of- gold sash, which was woven in Persia in the sixteenth century, during the reign of Shah Abbas. So fine and exquisite are the texture and workmanship of this beau— tiful sash, that it proves the skill of the artisans of the great Abbas, who brought Persian art to its height. These four pieces are said to be the finest examples of cloth—of—gold of this period in existence. (A fragment which is missing from the cufic is now in the museum of )Iunich.) The ends of the sash, which are unusually beau- tiful, form part of the back of the chasuble. They also form part of the ends of the stole and cuff‘. The cuff or maniple was Worn on the left arm only. Originally it was a piece of cloth used to wipe the cup, but gradually it became more and more elaborate, and finally was only used as an ornament or part of the ceremonial robes. The center of the sash is woven in bands having a design in red, black and gold. In the borders along the sides are parrots, leaves and flowers arranged in a conventional design. In the Orient the parrot was often used as symbolizing the messenger of love. They also appear again in the ends of the sash along with the carnation and lotus flower. These specimens are wonder— fully preserved, the only noticeable signs of wear being where the black threads have worn away in places. This is often found to be true of the black threads of silk and wool used in antique rugs, for although the Oriental excelled in the beauty and durability of his colors, the black often destroyed the wool or silk, because it was . . .~ 9.. .1!) }§ . _, q.’ , ‘ix-:43... a b l ‘p‘ i ‘ I ‘I, j 1 , ' ' v _ . r .. are... i.‘ g . s‘ '1.v Q} plw.
