Takfeet of Luminant Metals in the Palaces of Mamluk Cairo — Part One: The Candlesticks
Plus shipping and import charges outside the US.
The first comprehensive, full-colour visual study of the inlaid candlesticks of Mamluk Cairo — hundreds of original plates across 584 pages, read, translated, and set in the light of six centuries.
Fourteen pages lifted from the print file — the title page, calligraphy, and the strongest colour plates.
14 of 584 pages · Ultra Premium full-colour hardcover
Each candlestick examined in turn — form, construction, condition, and its place among its peers.
Hundreds of original photographs, with macro details of the inlay where the eye alone would miss it.
The Arabic bands transcribed and rendered, restoring the words worked into the metal.
Careful placement in period and workshop, with the evidence set out rather than asserted.
Cross-references that let a collector or curator locate a piece against the wider corpus.
Silver and gold, driven into brass, six centuries ago.
