Description

The Encyclopedia of Persian Carpet Patterns Takatoshi Misugi and Kiyoshi Sasaki have compiled an extensive overview of the design language of Persian carpets. The book brings together approximately 150 carpets and organizes them according to their characteristic pattern structures, including medallion and corner patterns, medallion designs, continuous patterns, mihrab or prayer niche patterns, and figurative representations.

The many color images are complemented by detailed photographs, patterns, and maps.

This makes the book not only visually appealing but also a particularly useful reference work for collectors, traders, and enthusiasts of Persian carpets and textile art.

The texts are recorded both in English and in Japanese.
