R. J. Ford shows readers how to recognize the different structural and design features of oriental rugs and carpets. The designs are grouped according to their essential characteristics. This approach illuminates the cultural background of each, revealing at once the similarities and the differences between the various carpet-weaving areas. Illustrations of modern types, with descriptions of their key characteristics, construction, materials, sizes, colors, and of the clues that establish a rug's precise origins, appear together with a balanced appraisal of the qualities of modern production from towns, villages, and tribal areas. Extensive cross-referencing and detailed indexes make this an invaluable reference guide for dealers and collectors" ; slight crease on title page ; Contents: Indentifizierung eines Orientteppichs anhand des Musters -- Provenienzbestimmung durch den Fachmann -- Struktur -- Farben -- Vom Wert der Orientteppiche -- Teppichgrossen und ihre Bezeichnungen -- Bemerkungen zur Knupfdichte -- Daten und Signaturen auf Teppichen -- Neue China-Teppiche : Anmerkungen zur Struktur -- Der historische Ursprung von Teppichen und Teppichmustern -- Neue orientalische Kopien persischer Muster -- Symbolik in orientalischen Teppichmustern -- Schreibweise und Aussprache von Ortsnamen -- Borduren -- Universelle Muster -- Das Boteh -- Florale Botehs -- Das Herati-Muster -- Baum-muster -- Vasenmuster -- Gebetsteppichmuster -- Garten- und Feldermuster -- Bildmuster/Tier- und Vogelmuster -- Geometrische Muster -- Geometrische Muster : mehrere Medallions -- Geometrische Muster -- Medallion, offener Spiegel -- Geometrische Muster, Medallion offener Spiegel -- Geometrische Muster, Medallion, bedektes Innenfeld -- Florale Muster -- Florale Muster -- Florale Muster, bedecktes Innenfeld -- Florale Muster, Medallion, offener Spiegal -- Florale durchgemusterte Teppiche -- Literatur-Nachweis -- Karten -- Verzeichnis aller abgebildeten Teppichprvenienzen -- Stichwortreister ; [Translated chapters: How to identify an Oriental carpet by its design ; Rug identification : the professional approach ; Structure ; The colours ; Values of Oriental carpets ; Carpet sizes and names ; A note on knot counts ; Dates and signatures in carpets ; New Chinese carpets : structural note ; The historical origins of carpets and carpet designs ; New Oriental copies of Persian designs ; Symbolism in Oriental carpet design ; Pronunciation of place names -- Border designs -- Universal designs.
