This is the first comprehensive survey of the vast and fascinating
subject of Persian flatweaves, and in particular floor covers.
Previous publications on the subject have largely been dealers'
restricted catalogues focusing on a narrow geographical area or the
weavings of a particular group, or sections in more general books.
This book thus fills a huge gap in the oriental carpet and textile
literature. Flatweaves have until recently been seen as merely the
products and property of the poor. Since the late 1960s, however,
growing attention has been paid to the best known type of
flatweave, the gelim, revealing both its quality and variety. Other
flatweaves, such as the palas, which is no less frequently found
than the gelim, have scarcely been mentioned in any of the
literature published so far, yet are shown in this work to be
objects of great beauty and diversity. The book is divided into two
parts. The first deals with the cultural background to the subject.
Drawing on literary sources as well
