Oriental carpets and their structure : highlights from the V&A collection

"Oriental carpets have always been prized in the West as items of luxury: they are also objects of great beauty, and an understanding of their structure is invaluable to a proper appreciation of them. In showcasing 100 superb examples from the V #38;A, this volume opens the door onto one of the richest and least explored areas of the collection." "It is only when we have an understanding of how carpets are made that we can explore the real nature of their design: how patterns evolve and straddle boundaries of time and place. An illustrated chapter on weaving and knotting methods is supplemented by detailed structural analyses of each carpet: the result is a book that illuminates the subject and will be of immeasurably value to collectors, designers, and textile historians alike."--BOOK JACKET.
