Catalogue of rare and beautiful Greek, Egyptian, Byzantine and other glass, Persian and other pottery, old enamels, Sumptuous textiles and many other ancient objects of extraordinary interest : to be sold at unrestricted public sale by order of Dikran Khan Kelekian
An 1903 auction catalogue issued in New York by the American Art Association, offering ancient glass, pottery, enamels and textiles from the collection of dealer Dikran Khan Kelekian to buyers at public sale. The pictures are line engravings of single vessels shown in profile against a plain ground: a footed bowl with band of incised script, a two-handled vase with panelled characters, a Greek amphora, and a mosque-lamp-shaped enamelled glass vessel on a stand. A designer might take from them the banded lettering, handle shapes and dense hatched shading used to model rounded forms.
