Persian Rugs and Carpets
Persian Rugs and Carpets: The Fabric of Life presents a pictorial journey around Persia, reflecting the weaving and pattern styles of the many regions and tribes - including Esfahan, Kashan, Nain, Qum, Kerman, Tabriz, Bakhtiari, Senneh, Malayer and Qashq
Oriental Carpets
Sakhai, a London rug dealer from a family of carpet weavers, shares his expertise on history, identification, and value of oriental carpets in this reasonably priced book. He offers tips on judging materials, dyes, patterns, age, and condition when selecting a carpet to buy. In handy guidebook format he describes different types of carpets, accompanied by color and black-and-white photographs (color photographs not seen). The author discusses value in comparative terms only, so prospective buyers will need to study the market to determine fair prices. Caucasian Carpets & Covers is a scholarly work by the curators who assembled the 1994 exhibit From Kuba to Kars at the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C. Their book includes knotted pile rugs from the Caucasus in addition to the materials in that exhibit. The text is detailed and comprehensive, accompanied by maps and photographs, mostly in color. Much of the historical material is from Russian sources available only in the former Soviet Union. --Library Journal (1995)
The Story of Carpets
The Story of Carpets charts a rich history, examining methods of weaving and knot tying, explaining the significance of common pattern elements and looking at the differences between tribal, village and city weaving. Over 160 beautiful carpets, illustrated in full color, illuminate the subject. In addition Essie Sakhai draws from a lifetime's experience as a dealer in fine carpets to offer guidance to those who are interested in buying, with advice on matching the rug to the decor of your home, tips on care and cleaning, and sound financial advice enabling even the beginner to make an informed choice about investment in an area which is still greatly undervalued in the West. A final section gives information on individual carpet-producing regions, their history and characteristic weaving and dyeing methods.
Transottoman Matters
This volume analyzes historical processes of mobility by focusing on material objects. Mobility—as a shorthand for various related processes such as migration, transfer, entanglement, and translation—involves human actors, immaterial elements such as ideas and knowledge, but also objects in various forms and functions. For example, as material infrastructures they are the basis for transport and travel; as goods they are the object and purpose of trade or gift exchange. By focusing on the way objects determined certain processes of mobility and how their social meaning and materiality was transformed in these processes, the contributors hope to gain deeper insight into the historical relations between the Ottoman Empire, Eastern Europe, and Persia.
