This book covering not only the folk carpets but also the opulent products of the looms patronized by the sultans, is a definitive, lavishly illustrated introduction to the incomparable and little- explored world of Anatolian carpets. The author, known to professionals as one of the leading dealers of Oriental carpets in Europe, has written books and given courses to experts at the request of international organizations. Equally important, he loves his subject and conveys his excitement in this book.

A trip through two major Turkish carpet museums in Istanbul and Konya serves as a vehicle to show the carpets' history, beginning with the reign of the Seljuks and continuing through the centuries. The main portion of the book is devoted to descriptions of specially chosen examples, arranged by area of production. The 180 color plates and 88 black-and- white-photographs, figures, and maps capture the range of inspiration of these beautiful textiles as well as highlight design motifs and provide glimpses of the life of the people. …
