tribal & village rugs: the definitive guide to design, pattern and motif tribal & village rugs: the definitive guide to design, pattern and motif
Peter F. Stone

This is the definitive guide to the design, pattern and motif of the rich weaving traditions of the Near East and Central Asia and an indispensable resource on Oriental rugs and carpets. The book is divided into six major regional and tribal groupings which are further subdivided into sections which give more precise attributions and motif types, examining the derivations and uses of medallions, field repeats and borders, as well as the relationships between them. It is a valuable aid to identifying the enormous variety of tribal and village rug motifs - a treasure house of inspiration for designers of all kinds. 352pp
