Riassunto

The Story of Carpets charts a rich history, examining methods of weaving and knot tying, explaining the significance of common pattern elements and looking at the differences between tribal, village and city weaving. Over 160 beautiful carpets, illustrated in full color, illuminate the subject. In addition Essie Sakhai draws from a lifetime's experience as a dealer in fine carpets to offer guidance to those who are interested in buying, with advice on matching the rug to the decor of your home, tips on care and cleaning, and sound financial advice enabling even the beginner to make an informed choice about investment in an area which is still greatly undervalued in the West. A final section gives information on individual carpet-producing regions, their history and characteristic weaving and dyeing methods.
