Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. 4to. HEAVY. vi, 164pp, index, bibliography, glossary, 118 col ills. Or boards in pictorial jacket. Foxing to title page and last few pages. Illustrates and discusses a wide range of Turkish kilims and related flat-woven textiles. Also includes a selection of bags and cushions which are often overlooked. The authors attempt to relate the weavings to the various groups who made them and in doing so to examine the origins of Turkish and Kurdish elements of the population. They provide an accurate account of the various weaving techniques, and have clarified some methods which are often wrongly described. Seperate sections are devoted to the importance of textiles in the history of mankind, and the sources of dyes used to obtain the glorious colours of the past.
