Valle (Pietro della) The Travels...into East-India and Arabia Deserta, first edition in English, translated by George Havers, initial imprimatur leaf, double-page engraved map and 3 plates on 2 sheets, some water-staining, contemporary calf, joints and corners worn, folio, [Wing V48A; cf. Blackmer 1712 and Atabey 1269 (both French editions)], Printed by J. Macock, for Henry Herringman, 1665.*** Della Valle's text comprises 54 letters written to the Neapolitan physician Mario Schipano during his twelve years of travels. He left Venice in 1614 on a pilgrimage to Palestine, proceeding to Damascus and Aleppo, crossing Mesopotamia to Baghdad, and into Persia where he married the Circassian Sitti Maani, who accompanied him on his further travels. In Persia, he sojourned at the court of Shah Abas, but his wife died at Persepolis in 1622. His travels then took him further east to the coast of India, and from Goa to Muscat, thence to Aleppo by way of Basra, finally reaching Rome in 1626. The translation from the Italian original of 1650-63 is by Sir Thomas Roe. There were three different imprints in 1665, for J. Martin and J. Allestry, for John Place and for Henry Herringham.

A NAZWA STYLE QURAYSHIA TRIBE BRASS DALLAH COFFEE POT Bahrain or Saudi Arabia, early 20th centuryOf classic flared cylindrical shape, rising from a wide splayed rounded base, engraved throughout with overlapping bands of vegetal scrollwork, fretwork and stylised flower heads, the tall conical lid surmounted by a pointed finial, with its distinctive ‘saw-tooth’ hinged lid-catch, with a boldly arched spout decorated with further floral designs and a curved handle on the opposite side, the overall design associated with the Qurayshia tribe, fitted with original chains, just below the rim a gold and red seal stamped in Arabic, testifying to the 'superior quality' of the ware, the base left plain displaying natural patina from age and use.32cm high This type of dallah, known as the ‘Nazwa’ style (دلة نزوى), is highly prized in the Arabian Gulf, with close links to Bedouin hospitality and coffee culture (qahwa), particularly among the Qurayshia tribe. This distinct shape is easily recognisable by the strong arch of the spout and the flared lower section. Early 20th-century examples from Bahrain and Eastern Saudi Arabia are increasingly rare, representing an important part of Gulf material heritage and Islamic decorative arts. Such pieces were often used in majlis gatherings, where serving coffee is a symbol of hospitality, social status, and tribal identity. For a related example, please see the collection of the Bahrain National Museum. Other published examples can be found in Traditional Metalwork from Bahrain (Bahrain Authority for Culture & Antiquities, 2012). 32cm high Qty: 1
* JAMES MCBEY (SCOTTISH 1883 - 1959), CHATHAM NO. 2 charcoal and watercolour on paper, signed and titledmounted, framed and under glass image size 30cm x 44cm, overall size 50cm x 65cm Note: McBey was a Painter and etcher, born at Foveran, Aberdeenshire, who began work in a bank. He attended evening classes at Gray’s Art School, Aberdeen, taught himself etching, built his own press and by 1906–7 was showing at RSA and Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts. In 1910 he left the bank, worked on the continent and held his first one-man show at Goupil Gallery in 1911 which was very successful. Having travelled in Morocco in 1912, during World War II McBey was appointed Official War Artist in Egypt. When the etching boom declined in the 1920s McBey, who had already painted some good portraits, including one of T E Lawrence of Arabia, diversified into oils, watercolours and drawings and established a market for his work among American collectors, having a highly acclaimed show at Knoedler Gallery, New York, in 1929. Early in the 1930s McBey returned to Europe and bought a second home in Tangier, where he lived with his artist wife Marguerite and died. Aberdeen Art Gallery holds a large collection of his work.
