This review is from: Kilim: History and Symbols (Hardcover)
Kilim: History and Symbols - History and Symbols - Dario Valcarenghi, [1994]"A comprehensive and richly illustrated guide to the development and motifs of the Anatolian kilim, one of the world's most popular craft textiles. Bright, beautiful, and affordable kilims are growing more popular - as rugs and also as furniture coverings, wall hangings, and bags - and buyers are becoming more sophisticated in their knowledge of fine, authentic pieces. The author, who travels widely to study, collect, and deal in kilims, examines the rich history and symbolism of Anatolian kilims in this engaging book. For thousands of years, these handmade textiles have carried complex motifs and symbols related to life and spirituality, motifs which are discussed in fourteen concise sections, including explanations of designs like The Primordial Water, The Open Hands, and The Kilim of the Seven Goddesses. The clear and lively text and 150 full-color plates are further illustrated with dozens of black-and-white drawings which help the reader to recognize and interpret the various kilim types and motifs, making this an unbeatable volume for the seasoned collector or for the first-time buyer of these much-loved textiles" |
