Celebrating a major collection of Islamic art, this volume spans
the entire history of Islam to bring together items produced
throughout the vast region between Andalusia and Mughal India
 The Farjam Collection of Islamic, and Modern and
Contemporary Middle Eastern art, comprising over 5,000 artworks, is
well known in the Middle East and to the cognoscenti but has
remained unpublished until now. This volume examines around 350
highlights from the collection stretching from the seventh century
to the early 1900s, introducing it as a major resource for
scholars, students, and bibliophiles. The exceptional breadth of
this collection spans the entire history of Islam, bringing
together items produced throughout the vast region between
Andalusia and Mughal India. Its treasures include Quranic
manuscripts, miniatures, and illustrated books on science,
mathematics, and poetry, as well as finely decorated metalwork,
lacquer, glasswork, tiles, glazed pottery, woodwork, textiles,
jewellery, and fine carpets. It explores the continuity, dialogue,
and influences throughout centuries of Islamic art. Organized
thematically with high-quality photography throughout, the book
reflects current trends in the study of Islamic art through essays
and entries written by eminent scholars.
