The Rooks & St. Felix Inaugural Catalog is the first published record of the collection assembled by Rudolfo St. Felix and Ichabod Rooks: twelve objects chosen, as all things in this house are chosen, by something other than accident.
Each entry moves through provenance, material description, and entity profile. The pieces range across centuries and continents. A Ryukyu doll in a red wedding kimono with a temperament tied to the moon. A Burmese parabaik said to show the reader what is coming. An Ethiopian healing scroll that prays after midnight until the woman it was made for is remembered. A Chimú-tradition vessel that does not care to be studied. They are documented not as curiosities but as presences, because that is what they are.
The hardcover edition is printed on premium stock with a cloth-textured cover in the house color: deep oxblood with gilt lettering. It is the edition for shelves, for collections, for those who take seriously the idea that beautiful things accumulate something over time.
If you are reading this, the catalog has likely already found you.
Hardcover. Twelve entries. First edition, limited run.
