Lacquer of the Islamic Lands

£89.00

This two-part volume presents the Collection’s more than 500 examples of Islamic lacquer – predominantly papier-mâché wares with painted and varnished decoration – which is probably the largest holding of its kind in any single collection. The most characteristic forms are the bookbinding, the pen box, the casket and the mirror case, but the Collection contains examples of other forms, such as spectacle cases, fans, and a splendid backgammon table.
