In this comprehensive volume, Sarah Sherrill examines Western
carpet design and production from the Middle Ages to the present,
in styles that range from magnificent palatial creations to
delightful folk designs. With hundreds of dazzling illustrations,
Sherrill's authoritative text includes chapters on Moorish weavers
and the golden age of carpets in Spain; the exquisite carpets of
the Savonnerie, Aubusson, and Beauvais in France; productions from
Moorfields, Exeter, and Axminster in England; the intriguing but
little-studied rugs of Eastern European countries; the charming and
resourceful rugs of America; and an important chapter on modern
designs that offers an extensive survey of rugs created by leading
artists and architects of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Sherrill's stimulating text, based on years of research, brims with
interesting new findings, not only on the history and design of
these works, but also technological developments that had an often
unrecognized effect on rug design and production.
