 Oriental Carpets: A Complete Guide January 3, 2007
This book is all you want to know about oriental carpets. The writing is energetic and not too pedantic. The illustrations are top notch. With it's help I was able to track down my recently acquired Caucasian to Perepedil. I had been told it was from Ardabil in Iran when in fact it is from Azerbajian near Kuba. A dear friend's carpet was finally identified as an American hand painted Sarouk. It was a hand me down and it's origins were a mystery for 50 years. It is a very heavy book but if I was to go to Turkey for additional purchases I would not hesitate to bring it along.

This book is definitely worth every penny! It goes into great detail on the different types of rugs, the history of the people (from a rug making perspective). There are beautiful pictures of rugs as examples, maps showing both the old names of areas as well as those in use today. The writing style is fun to read (not overly dry). The first 80 mpgs or so are dedicated to the rug and rumaking tself - construction, dyes, design, the people who make them. The rest of the book is broken down into the different areas where rugs were/are made. These sections provide great details on the specifics of the styles of rugs produced by those people, why they use certain colors etc. Excelent excellent book! I'd buy it again in a heart beat. Its a big book so its not so easy to take on a trip but a great book to have at home to read through and learn from.
Good! October 21, 2003

A bit pricy but worth it. I bought it to read on my way to the UAE/Bahrain. I was planning on buying a carpet and this went a long way towards helped me to know what I was looking at and what to look for. A great book for the novice and experienced, alike. Everybody wanted to borrow it!
