    • Excellent introductory text on kilims.
I am a collector of Oriental rugs and books on the same. This book was a pleasant surprise. Not really written for the serious collector but the author is very knowledgeable on tribal rugs. The chapter on dyes was especially informative. Usually books of this type are full of misinformation but not so here. Color reproduction is fair to good. Paper quality high. An inexpensive worthwhile purchase for the novice and advanced collector. The book actually covers some pile carpets and not just kilims which by definition have no pile. Gabbehs are also covered. ... show more

Review Image by Jane in Milwaukee Jane in Milwaukee
It's so frustrating to decide to buy a book without being able to page through it so I put several pictures in Images above to help. I have many, many books on oriental carpets and rugs with glorious pictures and detailed histories and explanations of every element of a rug. But this is my only book on kilims specifically and that shows modern-day great suggestions for decorating my home. I would love to be able to own a genuine hand-made carpet but until I can afford it, I salve myself with machine-made reproductions and reading books like this. This book provides such wonderful detail of the peoples who make these rugs and warns of how this is becoming a vanishing art as the nomadic tribes stop traveling for a living. You will be able to find pleasing suggestions for how to decorate your home or just accent a room with a kilim. Every page is filled with color photos of not just rugs themselves but of their use in houses and by their makers. There are many photos of every step of making the carpets from harvesting the fibers to dying them and the weaving. The accompanying text is engaging and rewarding to read. *** ... show more

kilims decorating with tribal rugs by elizabeth hillard "Woven with rich, jewel-like colors and intricate symbols, tribal rugs have a timeless quality that fits into any decor. A handmade rug adds comfort and pulls a room together. This is the story of Persian rugs both ancient and modern. It delves into their history and manufacture, and explores their decorating potential and care. In addition, the foreword explains how to select and purchase these rugs wisely -- a major concern of North American consumers. With their vivid colors and patterns, kilims, decorating potential is not limited to the floor. They can be used as pillows, curtains, and wallhangings or to cover tables, beds, and sofas. From the oldest known rug found in a frozen Siberian tomb to modern weaving done by women nomads and village dwellers, kilims are living art." ... show more
