Description:
Profusely illustrated with 113 photo plates, many in color, this book surveys antique oriental rugs and carpets.
ORIENTAL RUGS & CARPETS by Stanley Reed, Octopus Books, London, 1967.
“This book traces the development of Oriental rug and carpet manufacture both historically and geographically. The author discusses in detail the particular qualities of rugs made in the towns and districts of Persia, Asia Minor, the Caucasus and Turkestan, with special emphasis on such celebrated rug-producing towns as Isfahan, Tabriz, and Heriz. The famous carpets—the Ardebil, the Trinitarias, the ‘Garden Carpet’—are of course here, but we are also introduced to many beautiful varieties which are less well-known. A chapter is devoted to prayer rugs and includes discussion of methods of dating and of identifying their place of origin.” The final chapter reviews mechanized carpet manufacturing, reviews today’s materials and the “shortage of good old carpets.”
8.25“ x 9.6“ color-imprinted hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 96 pages.
