Description

This scholarly work examines British private collectors of Persian and Islamic art during the late 19th century, exploring their passion for ceramics, metalwork, carpets, textiles and woodwork. Anchored by the landmark 1885 exhibition of Persian and Arab Art at a London Gentlemen's Club, the book traces one generation of collectors whilst distinguishing between amateurs, connoisseurs, experts and serious collectors. Through meticulous research, it uncovers the mechanisms behind the era's growing fascination with Oriental art, revealing how these collectors shaped tastes and established collecting practices that would influence the museum and art worlds for decades. Part of Routledge's Histories of Material Culture and Collecting series (1700-1950), this volume offers valuable insight into Victorian collecting culture and the construction of aesthetic ideals.
