Download or read book Oriental Rugs of the Hajji Babas written by Daniel S. Walker and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty of the finest Oriental rugs collected in the past five decades are assembled here to illustrate the extraordinary achievements of village and nomad rug-weavers across Asia. Included are examples from Turkey, Iran, the Caucasus, Soviet Turkestan, Central Asia, and China. All belong or once belonged to members of the Hajji Baba Club, America's oldest and most prestigious rug society. Although they are all referred to as rugs, these pieces were not exclusively intended to be floor coverings. Many decorated the walls of tents, were used as bags for storing or transporting possessions, served as saddle covers or blankets for horses and camels, took the place of coverlets, or provided a surface on which to kneel during prayer. They were intended to be utilitarian but also highly decorative, and their jewel-like colors, bold patterns, and lustrous wool have proved irresistible to Western collectors. Both pile rugs and flat-woven kilims are represented in this selection. Some are crowded with intricate geometric details worked in sublet shades, others rely on a few simple motifs and striking color combinations. Most were made in the nineteenth or early twentieth century. The so-termed classical rugs produced in court workshops in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which are not represented here, have largely disappeared from the marketplace, but it is still possible to discover fine examples of the more recent weavings. In addition to a detailed discussion and technical analysis of each rug, Daniel S. Walker, Curator of Ancient, Near Easter, and Far Eastern Art at the Cincinnati Art Museum, has provided a brief history of the Hajji Baba Club which should be of great interest to those who have recently fallen under the spell of Oriental rugs. Fifty color plates, a glossary of important terms, and a bibliography make this volume a particularly useful reference for specialists and non-specialist alike. -- Inside jacket flap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just when the art of weaving originated is an uncertainty, but there seems to be a consensus of opinion among archæologists in general that it was in existence earlier than the 24th century before Christ. The first people which we have been able with certainty to associate with this art were the ancient Egyptians. Monuments of ancient Egypt and of Mesopotamia bear witness that the products of the hand loom date a considerable time prior to 2400 B.C., and on the tombs of Beni-Hassan are depicted women weaving rugs on looms very much like those of the Orient at the present time. From ancient literature we learn that the palaces of the Pharaohs were ornamented with rugs; that the tomb of Cyrus, founder of the ancient Persian monarchy, was covered with a Babylonian carpet and that Cleopatra was carried into the presence of Cæsar wrapped in a rug of the finest texture. Ovid vividly described the weaver's loom. In Homer's Iliad we find these words: "Thus as he spoke he led them in and placed on couches spread with purple carpets o'er." The woman in the Proverbs of Solomon said, "I have woven my bed with cords, I have [Pg. 18] covered it with painted tapestry from Egypt." Job said: "My days are swifter than the weaver's shuttle and are spent without hope." Other places in the Bible where reference is made to the art of weaving are, Ex. 33, 35, Sam. 17, 7, and Isa. 38, 12. Besides Biblical writers, Plautus, Scipio, Horace, Pliny and Josephus all speak of rugs. The Egyptian carpets were not made of the same material and weave as are the so-called Oriental rugs of to-day. The pile surface was not made by tying small tufts of wool upon the warp thread. The Chinese seem to have been the first to have made rugs in this way. Persia acquired the art from Babylon many centuries before Christ, since which time she has held the foremost place as a rug weaving nation.

Download or read book Oriental Rugs of the Silk Route written by John B. Gregorian and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silk Route was an ancient caravan route that began at the Golden Horn in present-day Istanbul and extended through the Caucasus, Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia to China and its seaports. It was through this caravan route, perhaps as long ago as the fourth century a.d. that goods of European manufacturers were introduced to remote villages and settlements. Here they were traded for indigenous exotic items such as silk, spices, and the subject of this luxurious and authoritative volume-oriental rugs. Oriental Rugs of the Silk Route, by John B. Gregorian, president of one of the oldest and largest oriental rug institutions in North America, provides an illustrated tour of the modern-day oriental rug-making centers of the Silk Route. A compelling text and stunning color photography complemented by vintage black-and-white images transport you to Middle Eastern villages and cities, revealing the rug-making culture and process there. From colorfully dressed peasants tending sheep, carding wool, and boiling natural dyes in Turkey and India's remote rug-weaving villages and trading centers to the sophisticated showrooms and the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, as well as mosques, temples, restaurants, and homes where beautiful rugs are on display, this visually rich and authoritative volume travels behind the scenes of the mysterious, exotic cultures famous for this centuries-old art form. Chapters cover the history and lore of the Silk Route and the famous weaving centers of India and Turkey, relating stories of the weavers, dyers, and merchants; superstitions; religious symbolism, and Middle Eastern aesthetics. Also included is a wealth of rug examples and information on the rugs themselves, such as rug types, dyes, symbology, weaving techniques, and knots. There is also professional advice for rug buyers: an assessment of the rug-making industry today; a complete guide to evaluating and purchasing a rug; a discussion of buying and trading customs; and helpful tips on negotiating abroad as well as on decorating with oriental rugs throughout the home. A glossary provides definitions of oriental rug terminology, while an appendix rounds out the book with a complete discussion of cleaning and repair. At once a unique journey to the world's finest oriental rug-making centers and an authoritative reference, Oriental Rugs of the Silk Route is captivating, informative reading for beginning and knowledgeable rug enthusiasts and travelers alike.
