Persian Rugs and Carpets : Masterpieces of Woven Art Hardback

Hardback

Coming Soon

Description

Hand-woven rugs from Persia are among the most exquisite art works ever created.

In this fully revised edition of Persian Rugs, Essie Sakhai reveals recent discoveries that present us with a new understanding of this unique art.

With hundreds of stunning new photographs, taken especially for this book, Sakhai takes us on a journey through Iran and beyond. Beginning with the history and art of creating woven masterpieces, Persian Rugs goes on to present full-page examples of some of the most cherished and valuable rugs and carpets in the world.

No two hand-woven carpets are the same, each with its own special property, beauty and quality.

Sakhai has handpicked the most important of these and gives detailed explanations of how and why these art forms hold such singular and even mystical appeal.

A new demand for original and ancient hand-woven pieces has increased their value greatly, leading to world-record prices being achieved at auction and important examples entering major museum collections around the world.
