About This Item
London: Allen & Unwin, 1967. Hardcover. As-New in cardboard slipcase. Blue cloth boards with gold gilt lettering and illustration on cover, white and color illustrated dust jacket with black and white lettering, 359 pp., color illustrations. "Caucasian carpets enjoy universal popularity, and justifiably so. Their harmony of color, their fineness, and robust, geometrical designs appeal to our western taste. The austere, well-balanced arrangement of the pattern not only blends admirably with modern furnishing, but also accentuates the character of antique furniture. Above all, however, it is the richness and clarity of the colors which delight the eye, and the infinite variations of design which repeatedly lead us to new discoveries in them. The collector, the connoisseur and the dealer have always striven to localize these masterpieces of tribal art and craft, to find out more exactly who produced them, and where and under what conditions." - quoted from Introduction.

First published in 1962, this is considered to be the most authoritative source on Caucasian carpets and rugs from the Caucasus region in the Middle East. Offering over 160 color plates, it details the historical weaving traditions and regional differences of the exquisite textiles from this region. Out of print at this time, but an indispensible reference work for the Oriental rug collector and enthusiast.
