London, Thames and Hudson, 431 S. Mit zahlr. auch farb. Abb. Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag. Umschlag berieben und gebrunt, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Modern Oriental Carpets 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. The carpets are classified by area or village under country-or in the case of Iran, under the main regions. Each type is illustrated by at least one reproduction, with captions giving details of origins, technique, design and colours. The key countries of Iran and Turkey are given due prominence, but the production of carpets in Afghanistan, Turkestan, Pakistan, Tibet, China, North Africa and the Balkan countries is also fully surveyed. The explanation of motifs and other information has been verified by the author in numerous visits to the places concerned, often remote and out-of-the-way villages far from the main centres of communication. The main section of the book is preceded by a historical introduction and by notes on every aspect of the oriental carpet: materials, dyeing, designs, weaving and knotting, the carpet trade, buying, conservation and restoration. For the general reader, Modern Oriental Carpets gives an informed look at a fascinating subject, combined with a wealth of beautiful illustrations. For the connoisseur and collector, it is an invaluable work of reference, providing a comprehensive guide to the designs available today. ISBN 0500231559Handwerk 1971, [PU: Thames & Hudson]<
