Rare and important publication on Anatolian / Turkish carpets, rugs and kilims. This book takes the reader on a visual and scholarly journey through Anatolia, guided by the rich tradition of carpets and kilims. It offers detailed descriptions of origin (which tribes or regions produced which patterns), material (wools, dyes, warps and wefts), technique (weaving methods, flat?weave versus pile, loom construction), colour (natural dyes, regional palettes, fading) and design (motifs, symbolism, asymmetry, structure). Featuring hundreds of full?colour photographs and drawings, the authors document both historical examples and contemporary weaving practices, enabling collectors, scholars and enthusiasts to appreciate the interplay between regional identity, craft technique and aesthetic expression in Anatolian textile art.
