Item description from seller

Rugs & Carpets of the World; edited by Ian Bennett, Ferndale Editions, London, 1981. Over 500 illustrations, including 160 in full colour. From the blurb – The craft of weaving rugs and carpets is one of the most ancient of the world. There are references to it in the Old Testament of the Bible and even in Homer’s Iliad; the oldest known carpet in existence, the Pazyryk carpet found in the mountains of Siberia, is probably about 2,500 years old. The importance and beauty of antique Oriental carpets have long been understood, an understanding which is now reflected in the immense sums which the finest pieces can command at auction. Likewise, the great Aubusson and Savonnerie carpets of France have always been prized among the highest achievements of European decorative art. Rugs & Carpets of the World is a complete guide to the major rug making areas of the world. This large format book, 352 pages measuring 323mm X 228mm is in near-fine condition. There is a small bump on the top corner of the front board. There is a personal address label of the first free end paper with a German address with the name blacked out. The dust jacket is in very-good condition and is now in a protective mylar wrap. This large and very heavy volume will require additional postage.…
