Description
|
|
|
|
The beautiful flatweavings called kilims, made by the tribal women of Anatolia, have come to be highly valued by collectors of Turkish rugs. In this deeply informed volume, Turkana Gallery owner Peter Davies illuminates the world of Turkish weaving, from the fleece used and the spinning and dyeing of the yarn to the looms and weaving techniques. Davies pays particular attention to the unique visual language of kilims and the lives of tribal weavers. The book includes ethnographic photographs by Josephine Powell, line drawings of symbolic motifs, and full-page color plates of 73 important examples.
