About This Item
Rutland, Vermont: Tuttle, 1971. Hardcover. VG-/G+ownership bookplate on ffep, light corner bumping to boards, a bit of tanning to inside covers. moderate wear to edges and corners of dust jacket including some small tears at corners, some minor sunning/tanning. a bit of soiling and a few indentations to dj back.. Brown cloth boards with yellow stamped spine lettering. Cream dust jacket with black lettering and color-illustration. 430 pp. 464 illustrations, 42 in color. "Oriental carpets have long been valued as works of art, and fine exaples are to be seen in museums and private collections throughout the world. These designs have been handed down from generation to generation of craftsmen, and carpets made by the traditional methods are now available widely, to be used and enjoyed in the home. This beautiful book is a comprehensive study, especially valuable as it concentrates on carpets currently available rather than on museum pieces. Nearly two hundred individual designs are described in detail, and the information has been gathered by the author, and the photographs taken, in the carpet-producing countries themselves." -Jacket.
