Decorative Arts: Part II: Far Eastern Ceramics and Paintings; Persian and Indian Rugs and Carpets (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780894682520)

This volume explores a group of the Gallery's decorative arts, mainly drawn from the renowned collections of the Widener and Steele families. The focus of the catalogue is on the collection of Chinese ceramics, which ranges from earthenware and stoneware to polychrome procelain, with a concentration on pieces from the Qing dynasty (1644-1722). The carpets from Lynnewood Hall, P.A.B. Widener's home in Pennsylvania, are also catalogued and published here for the first time.
