Book Description

Bathurst. 9.5 x 11 Hardback in dustjacket in Very Good condition. 1995. Illustrated by 117 Color Plates; Excellent value. Solid 19th century examples.; 3; 164 pp.; Flatweaves of Turkey reflects the authors’ enthusiasm for kilims and related flat-woven textiles. They consider that those made by mainly nomadic and village women in Turkey have the most varied and innovative designs, and are among the most beautifully colored of all weavings. A wide range of kilim types from diverse regions of Turkey is brilliantly illustrated. The authors have provided an accurate account of the various weaving techniques, with separate sections devoted to the historical importance of textiles, the materials, and the dyes used to obtain the glorious colors of the past. The text is written from the enthusiast- collector’s point of view, rather than from that of the dealer. .
