The pieces featured in the volume cover vast chronological and geographical sections of the fascinating world of carpets; the aim of the book is both eclectic and simple: to present very beautiful rugs belonging to private collectors and to give —through brief introductory chapters—an overview of the main carpet-weaving areas of the world.A series of maps and a glossary of technical terms are designed to help the non professional reader. There are several titles avaiable on carpets, but the peculiarity of this book is to illustrate many precious pieces from private collections, never shown to the public before. 05/04/22orders to: [email protected] a: [email protected]: @fashionbooksmiinstagram: fashionbooksmilano, designbooksmilano tumblr: fashionbooksmilano, designbooksmilano -- source link
