Book excerpt: This monumental reference work--long awaited by collectors and scholars--fills an important gap in the available literature on oriental rugs. Lavishly illustrated with over 1000 photographs and drawings, it offers clear and precise definitions for the rug and textile terms in use across a broad swath of the globe--from Morocco to Turkey, Persia, the Caucasus region, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and China. Covering priceless museum-quality rug traditions as well as modern centers of production, Oriental Rugs: An Illustrated Lexicon of Motifs, Materials, and Origins draws on classical scholarship as well as current terminology in use among producers and traders in these areas today. It focuses primarily on the rich hand-knotting and hand-weaving traditions of the Near East and Central Asia, but also includes some examples of Scandinavian and Native American weavings. Oriental rugs are receiving ever-increasing attention and recognition in the field of art history. Tribal weavings especially have become a focus for new research, and Oriental Rugs provides a new understanding of many distinctive traditions that were previously understudied, such as the weavings of southwest Persia, Baluchistan and Kurdistan. This concise oriental rug reference book is a must-have for scholars and anyone serious about collecting rugs, selling rugs or the rug trade in general. Additional reference information also includes: Foreign terms Place names The Oriental Rug lexicon Museums with notable rug collections Oriental rug internet sites
Download or read book Oriental Rugs of the Hajji Babas written by Daniel S. Walker and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty of the finest Oriental rugs collected in the past five decades are assembled here to illustrate the extraordinary achievements of village and nomad rug-weavers across Asia. Included are examples from Turkey, Iran, the Caucasus, Soviet Turkestan, Central Asia, and China. All belong or once belonged to members of the Hajji Baba Club, America's oldest and most prestigious rug society. Although they are all referred to as rugs, these pieces were not exclusively intended to be floor coverings. Many decorated the walls of tents, were used as bags for storing or transporting possessions, served as saddle covers or blankets for horses and camels, took the place of coverlets, or provided a surface on which to kneel during prayer. They were intended to be utilitarian but also highly decorative, and their jewel-like colors, bold patterns, and lustrous wool have proved irresistible to Western collectors. Both pile rugs and flat-woven kilims are represented in this selection. Some are crowded with intricate geometric details worked in sublet shades, others rely on a few simple motifs and striking color combinations. Most were made in the nineteenth or early twentieth century. The so-termed classical rugs produced in court workshops in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which are not represented here, have largely disappeared from the marketplace, but it is still possible to discover fine examples of the more recent weavings. In addition to a detailed discussion and technical analysis of each rug, Daniel S. Walker, Curator of Ancient, Near Easter, and Far Eastern Art at the Cincinnati Art Museum, has provided a brief history of the Hajji Baba Club which should be of great interest to those who have recently fallen under the spell of Oriental rugs. Fifty color plates, a glossary of important terms, and a bibliography make this volume a particularly useful reference for specialists and non-specialist alike. -- Inside jacket flap.
Download or read book The Art of Oriental Rugs A Weaver s Perspective written by Kayvon Sadrabadi and published by Kayvon Sadrabadi. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 1952 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to identify handmade rugs using techniques employed by experts without having years of experience! If you want a more in depth understanding of how experts identify rugs, then this eBook is what you’ve been searching for. But first a warning, this eBook is not for everyone. There are many fine books which address history, geography and designs; but they omit an important factor which experts rely on for identification – the specific weave pattern found on the back of the rug. If you wish to go beyond a cursory understanding of rugs, this is the eBook for you. The Art of Oriental Rugs – A Weaver’s Perspective presents an insider-look which examines what is a weave, what causes it, and how to recognize it. This work is the result of examining hundreds of pieces through three years of intensive research. This is the first extended toolkit of its kind to demonstrate different Persian (rugs woven in the country of Iran) weaves based on their region and explore why they look the way they do. The goal is to establish generally accepted weave patterns attributed to each rug-weaving region in Iran. It is more than just samples from Iran however, it also includes pieces from Caucasus, Turkey, China, Turkmen and others. • With 1800+ pages it provides ample opportunity for an in-depth examination of weaves and many samples to aid in identification. • Depending on your level of interest, you can go as deep as you wish in understanding why weaves look the way they do on the back of each rug. • Although this work can be viewed on smaller screens, to be able to properly examine pictures including characteristics unique to each piece, it is intended for larger screens (8 inch or larger). It includes 500+ pictures of rugs woven in Iran (Persian) which are available in the market today. It includes 750+ closeup pictures of weaves from the backs of rugs from 170+ weaving regions around the world, including Iran (Persian), Caucasus, Turkey, China, Turkmen and others. This will aid in identifying rug origins. It also includes maps of each region with the different weaving types to help better understand how the regions use similar/different weaving techniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The richness of Near Eastern art is epitomized by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Persian carpets. Among the finest ever produced, the two Ardabil carpets are believed to have been made as offerings for the Shrine of Sheikh Safi at Ardabil during the Safavid dynasty in sixteenth-century Persia. In this text Rexford Stead, deputy director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, explores the intricacies of the Ardabil carpets—one formerly in the Getty Museum and now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the other in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
