Hand-woven Carpets, Oriental & European
Author: Albert Frank Kendrick
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
This book is one of the very few to cover not only the great hand-woven rugs of the East, but those of Europe as well. After a short historical consideration on the origins and diffusion of hand-woven carpets, the authors consider the carpets made in the different traditions of Persia, India, China, Turkey, the Caucasus, Western Europe and England. Hundreds of illustrating examples from the fifteenth century on, along with the authors' lucid explanations of color, knot and motif differences, will enable you to differentiate between carpets of these varying traditions with little or no trouble. A second section of the book covers the technical aspects of carpet making: knotting, weaving, materials, dimensions and shape, dyeing and design. There are also most helpful chapters on purchasing carpets, what you need to know about prices, how to group and identify them, and how to take care of your carpets once you have them home. - Back cover.
