Ranging through Turkey, Persia, India, Spain, England, France and America, this volume includes the finest types of each carpet, from both museums and private collections. The text contains discussions of production, restoration and conservation, and of the origins of rugs and their techniques of manufacture. Carpets from the great weaving centres of Persia and Turkey are examined in detail, along with the custom of combining calligraphy with abstract and naturalistic design.
