Perennially popular, the rugs of the orient are also an area of complexity where the inexperienced would-be buyer is concerned. How can one be sure that one is buying a good example, that is well-made and in good condition? What should the buyer look for, what are the tell-tale signs of inauthenticity? What are the marks of genuineness and quality. This introduction explains the vocabulary of carpets, the techniques for identification, how rugs are made, materials/dyes, the great families of rug styles; has a gazetteer of countries, tribes and regions, buying rugs, the truth about auctions and bankruptcy sales, and care and maintainance.

Vendeur : Bill & Ben Books, Faringdon, Royaume-Uni
Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Nothing adds more character and distinction to even the smallest of rooms than an oriental rug. But the infinite variety available and the difficulty of assessing value frequently intimidates the inexperienced purchaser. Here at last is a down to earth guide that fills the gap found by many would-be students of the subject, who are satisfied neither by frothy 'coffee table' offerings, nor stolid learned texts. This is a simple but serious introduction, giving a comprehensive view in a well-organised, easily followed fashion. The book offers includes valuable practical guidance - the different types of rug for everyday furnishing purposes, the pitfalls that await the unwary buying at auctions, a unique colour-coded chart to help with decor schemes and a price guide.
