A wonderful catalog that delves into the history and the details of production, materials, techniques, patterns and symbolism, and the various styles of Persian woollen and silk carpets. As the author states, “The world of carpets is as rich as a meadow in full flower in which each bloom is a miracle in itself. I have become aware that these carpets belong to the finest artistic achievements of humankind.” In gorgeous photographs and succinct text, this catalog is a delightful and informative introduction to this rich artistic legacy.
