This review is from: Oriental Carpets (Jumbo) (Hardcover)

This is a beautiful book with careful drawings and magnificent color photographs. It is a serious scholarly work. An ideal text for a course on Oriental Carpets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Questioning Oriental Carpet Authority, May 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Oriental Carpets (Jumbo) (Hardcover)

Dr. Gantzhorn's book is both a fabulous bargain, with over 600 beautiful color plates, and a ground-breaking work of art history scholarship. If you are open to an iconoclastic view of carpet weaving history, i.e., history which differs from the official one, you owe it to yourself to consider Dr. Gantzhorn's carefully researched and documented thesis.

4.0 out of 5 stars guarded praise, July 14, 1999

72663.3265@compuserve.com (CT USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oriental Carpets (Jumbo) (Hardcover)

a mildly goofy interpretation that claims Armenian Christian origin for oriental carpets, ill organized, with excruciating page layout, but the sources consulted and the rich illustration make an interesting read and as well an incredible bargain
