Stone, Peter F.: The Oriental Rug Lexicon

Seattle 1997

47 Color Plates 553 Black and White 268 pp. 8.5 x 11 Paperback in Very Good condition.

A complete and indispensable dictionary of Oriental carpet terminology. This monumental reference work fills an important gap for collectors and scholars of Oriental carpets. Lavishly illustrated with more than 600 drawings and illustrations, it offers precise definitions of rug and textile terms ranging from the Western Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, from classical scholarship of old carpets to the latest terminology. It draws primarily on the rich cultural traditions of the Near East and Central Asia, but also includes examples from Scandinavian and Native American weavings.
