Author Richard Parsons, for many years a buyer in Afghanistan for
the well-known firm O.C.M (London) Ltd, treats the reader not only
to a veritable feast of carpets and rugs, all with their attendant
tribal origins and motifs vividly explained, but also to a
fascinating journey through the history of a diverse and colourful
country. The author shares his respect and admiration for
Afghanistan's stoic people, who, somehow, despite political
upheavals, forced resettlement, a harsh climate and often primitive
nomadic conditions, manage to fashion exquisite works of art which
reflect their pride in their many-faceted heritage. Afghan rugs,
which are instantly appealing due to their traditional colours and
bold designs, open up a whole vista for the collector, from
sumptuous piled purdahs to flat woven prayer rugs, all of them well
illustrated in the 154 colour and 90 black and white plates.
