Oriental Rugs: An Introduction

If you're planning to buy an oriental carpet, and there was never a better time to acquire one of these wonderful hand-made pieces which are not only decoration but working tools which'll last a lifetime or more, then Walker's book is a decent start. It perhaps doesn't give the detail one might hope for but its written by someone who spent a lifetime in the oriental rug/carpet trade and is basically handing you his hard-earned wisdom on a plate. In the face of almost no other good contemporary book on the subject (that I have found!) this is well worth a read.

lovely book if you’ve been to the middle east and want to know more about designs and their creation

Excellent read

Very useful publication with nice pictures and meaningful explanations.

Thank you for the useful book!
