About this product
Product Information
The Encyclopedia of Antique Carpets catalogs the diverse forms that the art and craft of the handwoven carpet has taken over twenty-five centuries, from the Far East to North Africa, from Europe to India, and within both hemispheres of the New World. The book features Classic Asiatic sources in the "Rug Belt"--Persia (Iran), Anatolia (Turkey), the Caucasus, China, India, and central Asia--and includes more than six hundred entries on all areas of historic carpet production, ranging from village to city and style to weaver. Each entry provides a photograph and information on the history, location, weaving period, technique, quality, design, coloration, size, and marketability of carpets produced around the world. This beautiful clothbound, two-volume boxed set is a comprehensive collection that is required reading for anyone with an eye on the antiques market or the cultural heritage of one of the oldest forms of artwork.

Amazing price for this book which was described as used, but like new, and indeed arrived in perfect condition. Item description was spot on and in fact this book could have been sold as new. Fast shipping as well. This was a rather heavy art book and the seller did a great job of packing it securely so that it arrived in perfect condition and free of damage. Well done and I would absolutely buy again from this seller.

Firstly I need to say supporting a public library is so important for the people of today and the future. Now about the book I purchased. The book was in 'as new' condition and the description of the book was excellent. The communication from the seller was also excellent, especially regarding the process of shipment internationally. The book was packaged excellently for a rough, uncompromising internationally journey were care by the courier companies is not a high priority. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
