Gramar of Chinese Lattice by Daniel Sheets Dye, Harvard-Yenching Institute
About the Item
This book was sold at auction by the Monterey Public Library as part of
a large collection of books, formerly owned by the famous Architect
Robert Stanton, who inherited many books from the sister of David
Adler, Architect, Francis Elkins. Francis Elkins lived in Monterey for
many years, and had an extensive library on architecture and design.
A Grammar of Chinese Lattice is by reason of it's plates, essentially a source
book. The plates present windows and grille as constructed by Chinese
workmen between 1000B.C. and 1900 A.D. Most of the originals, their
ancient counterparts in bronze or brick, or their more recent copies in
stone or porcelain, have been found in situ either in Chengtu, in other
parts of Szechwan province, or in the remaining provinces of China.
A few have been located in distant places, - in museums in various countries,
in magazines, books etc. Most of the plates are copied from wooden grille,
constructed between 1700A.D. and 1900A.D. and still extant in 1920.
The book is based upon these monuments.
The collection is as representative as possible.

- Ikat, Silks of Central Asia, the Guido Goldman Collection, 1997Located in San Francisco, CAAbr-bandi, the central asian name for the ikat technique, derives from the Persian word abr which means "cloud". The ikat style is not limited to Central Asia, but nowhere have the ikat designs known as abr, or the technique itself proved so enduring or so gloriously inventive as in the ancient centers of Uzbek and Tadjik handicrafts- Bukhara, Samrkand and the towns of the Ferghana Valley. The craftsmanship of the abr masters, the abr bandchi, was their patrimony; their secrets and their repertoire of designs were handed down through the generations. Yet this art form has always been responsive to change and receptive to new weaving methods created to simplify the process without sacrifice of artistry. In the nineteenth century abr designs were used to decorate fabrics made into winter and summer...Category
