Travel & Village Rugs is a full-color, in-depth, coffee-table sized identification guide to the motifs, designs, and patterns that can be found upon rugs and carpets crafted according to the rich weaving traditions of the Near East and Central Asia. Divided into six major regional and tribal groupings, covering Anatolian, Baluchi, Caucasian, Kurdish, Persian and Turkman motifs, the segments rely on explict, plain-terms description, colorful diagrams, close-up zooms of sample repeating patterns, and more to clarify its points about subtle nuances of design. Travel & Village Rugs is an invaluable reference and resource for any dedicated hobbyist or professional textile dealer who needs to familiarize themselves with the distinct designs of Central Asian regions, or have the information ready for easy access.
