Description

“Probably the most useful books to cover the whole of the field…Mr. Ford is to be congratulated on having produced a work that are meant to stand the test of time.”―Carpet Review Weekly

In this comprehensive survey, P. R. J. Ford shows readers learn how to recognize the different structural and design features of oriental rugs and carpets. The designs are grouped in keeping with their very important characteristics. This approach illuminates the cultural background of each and every, revealing at once the similarities and the differences between the more than a few carpet-weaving areas

Illustrations of brand new types, with descriptions of their key characteristics―construction, materials, sizes, colors―and of the clues that establish a rug’s precise origins, appear along side a balanced appraisal of the qualities of brand new production from towns, villages, and tribal areas. Extensive cross-referencing and detailed indexes make this an invaluable reference guide for dealers and collectors, and for someone who has an appreciation of and interest in rugs. 800+ illustrations and photographs, 400 in color
