Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Extensive descriptions with illustrations of the classes/types of carpets. Scholarly writing of the history of carpet and rug-making was occasionally rather turgid. Unless the reader has extensive experience with the designs, the book does not teach one how to "read" an unknown example. The teaching aspect would have been more illuminating had the photographs been annotated (not to mention, less muddy-coloured). The historical progression in hand knotted and woven carpet-making will appeal to the history buff. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Carpets made in the "Rug Belt" - an area that includes Morocco, North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and northern India - have been a source of fascination and collecting since the 13th century. This engaging and accessible book explores the history, design techniques, materials, craftsmanship, and socio-economic contexts of these works, promoting a better understanding and appreciation of these commonly seen and frequently misunderstood pieces. Forty examples of Islamic carpets are illustrated with new photographs and revealing details. The lively texts guide readers, teaching them "how to read" clues present in the carpets that allow them to deconstruct the history, techniques, significance and materials in each piece. Denny situates these carpets within the cultural and social realm of their production, be it a nomadic encampment, a rural village, or an urban workshop. This is an essential guide for students, collectors and professionals who want to understand the art of the Islamic carpet. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
