New Books for March 2010, etc.

Mom and Dad had a great time in San Francisco for the Tribal and Textile Art show and enjoyed visiting with many of you. I put a few of the pictures Mom took on our Facebook page which you can see here: http://www.facebook.com/rugbooks.

We also had our yearly visit from the tax man and inspired have decided that in the month of March we will pay the sales tax from California residents.

Stefano Inonescu, author of the seminal Antique Ottoman Rugs in Transylvania reports that he has a few spots open for his May and June tours of Transylvania. My parents went last year. They report good food, good wine and wonderful rugs. There are a few pictures from the tour on our blog here: http://rugbooks.blogspot.com/2009/07/trip-pics.html

Chenciner, Robert et al. KAITAG: DAGHESTANI SILK EMBROIDERY: AN ITALIAN COLLECTION Ziya Bozoglu London 2007 84 Color Plates 184 pp. 9.75 x 12.75 Hardback in New condition A collection of 82 embroideries from Daghestan. "Kaitag art speaks to people of diverse cultural traditions. French art-lovers respond to a proto-Matisse style; in Sweden they see ancient Scandinavian art; Australians are reminded of Aboriginal art and in the US they see Abstract Expressionist paintings. Indeed, all these echoes are references to the common experience of the primal appeal of Kaitag embroideries, which is based on shared animist archetypes. KAITAG is the natural successor to Robert Chenciner’s first publication on the subject more than a dozen years ago, greatly adding to the lively corpus of known styles and designs of Daghestani silk embroideries, among them many pieces that are quite simply ‘best-of-type’." $150.00

Jackson, Beverly and David Hugus LADDER TO THE CLOUDS, INTRIGUE AND TRADITION IN CHINESE RANK Ten Speed Press Berkeley 1999 216 Color Plates 56 Black and White Photos 310 pp. 10 x 10 Paperback in Very Good condition A comprehensive study of Chinese civil and military rank badges. These small Chinese silk squares were sewn on surcoats. With Hugus, a collector who supplies many of the examples here as well as much of the more scholarly text, Jackson, the writer of Splendid Slippers: A Thousand Years of an Erotic Tradition, tackles another intriguing Chinese social phenomenon: official rank and its insignia as represented in the imperial costume of Ming and Ch'ing dynasties (1368-1912). Each rank was identified by a finely woven or embroidered silk square that was worn on the front and back of a surcoat. The iconography--birds for civil ranks and real and mythological animals for military ranks--indicates not only official status but also the general Chinese worldview. Although the pictures and text are at times somewhat uncoordinated, the beautifully reproduced full-color illustrations of the badges together with archival photographs do provide a multifaceted view of the ancient system. This first comprehensive book on the topic--providing a historical and cultural background as well as information for decoding Chinese symbols on imperial dress--serves as a guide for art, military, and cultural historians as well as collectors. $30.00

Steinmann, Axel and Gebhart Blazek BOUCHEROUITE Blazek Graz 2009 59 Color Plates 64 pp. 8.25 x 11.75 Paperback in As New condition Exhibition catalog of modern Moroccan rag rugs. "Anyone familiar with the lively Moroccan rug and carpet market will have noticed the emergence in recent years of a previously little known type of ‘rag rug’ (called Boucherouite or Boucherwit, from Moroccan Arabic bu sherwit, ‘a piece torn from pre-used clothing’, ‘scrap’) which marks the (provisional) end of a development in which the traditional materials used for weaving (mainly sheep’s wool) are rapidly being augmented and substituted. This development is an inevitable consequence of widespread economic, social and cultural changes in Morocco’s rural areas: with the move away from nomadic animal husbandry to settled farming and other modern forms of rural employment, wool as the primary raw material for the production of carpets for Moroccan domestic use has become ever rarer, and replacement materials have become ever more important. The materials used include recycled rag strips and yarns from a variety of ‘found’ textile remnants including wool, cotton, synthetic fibres, Lurex, nylon and plastic. This development started during the 1960s and 1970s in the plains – mainly settled by Arabs – around the towns of Beni Mellal and Boujad." $60.00

Battini, Chiara with Paola Barbetti, Alberto Boralevi, Alberto Levi, Elena Tzareva FILIKLI: ANATOLIA XX CENTURY: MORESCHINI COLLECTION Angelo Pontecorboli Editore Firenze 2009 55 Color Plates 80 pp. 8.75 x 8.75 Paperback in As New condition The Filikli is an Anatolian long hair rug, extremely soft, usually monochrome and mostly without any pattern. The colour palette is ample but the colour red dominates the scene and it appears in numerous hue variations that, as in a mirror effect, enhance its potential. In fact, the colour red towers over many a form of tribal art. From the scarce literature available the Filikli is almost always numbered among the Anatolian Tulus as one of the possible variations. Furthermore, oftentimes, it is confused with similar weaves such as the Perdes or the Zakatalas. Yet, the group of Filiklis exhibits homogeneous aesthetic and structural elements that belong neither to the Tulus nor to other similar weavings. Thus, we should consider the Filikli an object on its own, give it back the right of citizenship, a personality and a life of its own. These are the stakes.The Florentine Collection of Giuseppe Moreschini’s Filiklis consists of a singular number of high quality pieces in a unique chromatic variety; specimens so pure to embody the essence of the Filikli and others extremely significant to underline the connection between the Filikli and other similar rugs. So, this Collection allows us to identify the objective qualities specific to the Filikli, to outline the criteria for its authenticity, to try and ascertain its anthropological value and, once sheltered from any identity theft, it can help work out the relationship between what a Filikli is and what it is not: Tulu, Perde, Zakatala, etc." -Publisher $75.00

New Books for August 2009

Dear Customers and Friends:

Here is our list of new titles we've added to our catalog in the past month.

The San Francisco Antique Rug and Textile Show is being held this month from October 15-26 month at the Motel Capri. There are going to be over 40 dealers from all over the world with nearly 2,000 rugs and textiles on display and for sale. In addition the San Francisco Bay Area Rug Society is sponsoring a visit to the Occidental Carpet Palace and Gardens of Bay Area collector Jim Dixon on October 21st that is not to be missed. There will also be a Belouch show at the gallery of Peter Pap which I am looking forward to.

We are, of course, not bringing our entire 3,000 title inventory but if there is a specific book you want me to bring please email me before October 9th.

I have also added a few new rug and textile related DVDs to our video section and have added previews courtesy of YouTube so you can "try before you buy!"

Regards,
Wesley Marquand (wesley@rugbooks.com)

We are also looking forward to the San Francisco Antique Rug and Textile Show being held next month at the Motel Capri. The buzz has been good and it is looking like it will be the most successful dealer sponsored rug and textile fair to date. There was a small write-up in Hali 160 which can be found here.
