Tribal Rugs: Treasures of the Black Tent

Well written book. Very good photographs of tribal rugs.

This book deals with Middle Eastern Tribal Rugs only.Urban production is not covered.It is beautifully illustrated with top examples and striking ethnographic photographs.This and James Opie's Book Tribal Rugs are essential treatments of this subject.Covering much of the same ground but also the history of rug making and urban production as well, is Murray Eiland's Oriental Carpets. This is the most scholarly and best illustrated overview of the subject, but only get the 1998 or later editions as the earlier ones are not as comprehensive or nearly as well illustrated.These are the three most important books either a beginner or expert can obtain.This is MacDonald's second edition and is somewhat altered with a few different illustrations and a minimally edited text.

Good book, fast delivery, all positive.

This is an outstanding book. I have been an enthusiastic antique rug hobbyist for over fifty years, and I have encountered few books among the many available that match the excellence of this volume.

Wonderful book about a very niche topic. The author, who spent years in Iran first as an archeologist and later as a collector of tribal rugs, provides lots of interesting background about the people who make the rugs and what they are used for. Great photos of the rugs and the people who make them.

I had been searching for a book on tribal, as opposed to city, rugs and this is the best I have found. Good illustrations and in-depth description of tribes and the differences in their rugs. Highly recommended.

Lovely book. New edition available in September 2017. Wait or pay $1000+ for 2010 edition.

This is a very interesting story about how large numbers of tribes created beautiful rugs of art that donned their homes.

Well, ok on the cover. Excellent informative book.

I really excellent volume, full of invaluable information and illustrations. The authors has travelled to many of the different areas where the various tribal rugs are made - so he has the experience to know what he's talking about. Highly recommended - one of the best books on tribal rugs still available

Molto ben fatto. peccato solo per la consistenza della copertina. Foto nitide e un bel panorama di tappeti di varie manifatture e provenienze. Il prezzo è comunque buono e vale la pena averlo nella propria biblioteca se si è appassionati di tappeti orientali

日本にはないような色の組み合わせがあったりして、見ているだけでも楽しいし異国情緒を感じられるような折の本です
