Art and Rare Books On India, Central Asia and the Islamic World
Indoislamica.com has an extensive stock of
rare books, prints, watercolours, miniatures, calligraphy and photographs
all relating to India, Central Asia and the Islamic world.
Indoislamica.com has been created by Shahid
Hosain, Yasmin Hosain and Simon
Brandenburger to provide material
of high quality at realistic prices to collectors with either modest
or more substantial budgets, as well as to museums and academic institutions.
Previously, for a quarter of a century,
Yasmin and Shahid Hosain ran their gallery in London’s West End where clients included some
of the world’s major collectors and institutions.
Now based in London’s Hampstead, the Hosains and Simon Brandenburger
are offering the same personal attention backed up by their own expertise
and that of a remarkable team of specialists. (See who we are).
They will be producing regular catalogues.
Their inventory includes such rarities
as:

miniature, circa 1750, of an assembly of noblemen and saints, each
identified in nasta’liq
script (MI000036)
