Tribal Rugs
The book offers good historical information on weavings and simple ways to identify where a piece may have been made and by whom. The information is presented in condensed form in the first pages with references to the many plates that make up the balance of the book.

Tribal Rugs,
This review is from: Tribal Rugs (Paperback)
The book offers good historical information on weavings and simple ways to identify where a piece may have been made and by whom. The information is presented in condensed form in the first pages with references to the many plates that make up the balance of the book. Most of the plates are in color and are of good, representative pieces.

This reference is a must-have addition to any collector's library. Author studied and lived among the tribes from which her beautiful rugs were woven. Illustrations are gorgeous! Tribal life is well-illustrated as well. Other contemporary authors of oriental rug books highly recommend this book! |
