"'The Tibetan style of furnishing is elaborate and luxurious..when it is carried out with taste it has a bold, barbaric fascination that can hardly be excelled.' So the Italian scholar Fosco Maraini characterized the Tibetan interior during his travels on the plateau in the late 1930s. Within twenty years the world he so vividly described would be swept away in the tide of the Chinese invasion and the later Cultural Revolution. Yet while so much of Tibetan material culture was lost, furniture has survived and re-surfaced in the 21st century as one of the great new subjects in Tibetan design and aesthetics." Fine in very near fine dust jacket. Fine/Near Fine.
