Description: "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."--BOOK JACKET.
