Paperback. Etat : Very Good. How can one tell a Persian carpet from a Romanian copy? Where did today's oriental carpet designs originate? How do the weavers' ethnic origins influence the artistic value of tribal rugs? These are just a few of the hundreds of points that are considered in this comprehensive survey by P.R.J Ford who, drawing on his many years of experience in the trade, shows how to recognize the different structural and design features of oriental rugs and carpets. The full range of designs used throughout the Orient - from the Balkans to Peking - are grouped not according to the place of origin but according to the essential characteristics of the designs themselves. This approach illuminates the cultural background of each design, revealing at once the similarities between the interpretations of the various carpet-weaving areas. The author shows the vital influence of the ethnographic histories of the various carpet-producing regions exercised over all important designs. Yet he is basically concerned with the present, with the millions of oriental carpets on sale today. Illustrations of representative examples of modern types, with descriptions of their key characteristics - construction, materials, sizes, colours - and of the clues which establish a rug's precise origins, appear together with a balanced appraisal of the qualities, good or bad, of modern production from any one town, village or tribal area. The introduction presents an account of the general history and essential features of oriental carpets. Extensive cross-referencing and detailed indexes make this a double invaluable reference guide for the professional user or for anyone who has an appreciation of and an interest in the rugs of the Orient. . The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

What are the features that distinguish the many similar designs woven in the Hamadan area of Persia? Why are Indian double~wefted rugs from Agra so much better than single~wefted ones? Where did today's oriental carpet designs originate? How do the weavers ethnic origins influence the artistic value of tribal rugs? In this comprehensive new survey by P. R.J. Ford, all of these questions are answered and more. Ford draws on his considerable knowledge gained during years of experience as a carpet designer and export executive to show how to recognize the different structural and design features of oriental rugs and carpets. Here, for the first time, the full range of designs used throughout the Orient, from the Balkans to Peking, is grouped not according to place of origin but according to the essential characteristics of the designs themselves. Thus, all carpets featuring the Herati pattern, or all those classified as prayer~rug or garden designs~ whether historical or modern examples~will be found together in their appropriate sections; geometric (rectilinear) designs are separated from floral (curvilinear) designs; and the few~though universally used~border designs are discussed in a separate chapter. This approach illuminates the cultural background of each design, revealing at once the similarities and the differences between the interpretations of the various carpet~weaving areas. The modern carpet~producing areas of the Orient extend from Albania and Rumania in the West, across Turkey, Persia, the Caucasus, Turkestan Afghanistan, northern India and Pakistan, Tibet and Nepal, and finally into China. The author deals effectively with the ethnographical influences that have entered into the organization and development of all important carpet designs. Yet this book essentially concerned with the present ~ with the many millions of oriental carpets that are to be found in Western shops and warehouses today. It contains illustrations of representative examples of the carpet types currently woven in the Orient, together with descriptions of their key characteristics~the construction, the materials used, the typical sizes and color ranges~and the clues which enable an expert to establish a rug's precise origins. The Introduction provides an account of the general history and essential characteristics of oriental carpets, while the later chapters give a balanced appraisal of the qualities of the modern production of any one town, village. or tribal area. The comprehensive text, the abundant and magnificent illustrations, and the inclusion of many cross~references and detailed indexes make this an invaluable reference source for all those who have an appreciation of and an interest in the rugs of the Orient.…
