Eberhart Herrmann - Asiatische Teppich- und Textilkunst, Band 5 - 1995

Eberhart Herrmann – Asiatische Teppich- und Textilkunst, Band 5 – First Edition, 1995.

Rare and impressive large-format specialist portfolio devoted to Asian and Oriental carpets and textile art.

Published in Munich in 1995, this first edition contains high-quality large-format colour plates showing important historic carpets and textiles from Persia/Iran, Anatolia, India and other regions, accompanied by detailed scholarly and technical information.

Original dark-blue presentation binding/portfolio with decorative textile illustration on the front.

Dimensions: approximately 45 × 32 cm.

The complete edition was originally issued with:

* 108 image plates, of which 107 are in colour
* 108 corresponding text leaves/pages
* 5 transparent analytical schematic overlays

IMPORTANT – INCOMPLETE COPY:

This copy contains 107 of the original 108 image plates. Only image plate no. 3 is missing.

Text leaves/pages numbered 65 through 107 are missing.

Four of the original five transparent analytical overlays are present; one of these consists of two separate sections.

The plates and text pages that are present are generally in very clean and attractive condition, with vivid colours and high-quality printing.

The great majority of the important illustrated plates are therefore still present, making this an attractive specialist reference and collector’s portfolio despite the missing text section.

Please study all photographs carefully. The photographs form an important part of the description and show the exact contents and condition of this copy.

A rare and visually impressive reference work for collectors and enthusiasts of Oriental carpets, Persian rugs, Asian textile art and Islamic decorative arts.

Will be carefully packed for shipment due to its large format.
