Previous publications on the subject have largely been dealers restricted catalogues focusing on a narrow geographical area or the weavings of a particular group or sections in more general books. This book thus fills a huge gap in the oriental carpet and textile literature. Flat weaves have until recently been seen as merely the products and property of the poor. Since the late 1960s, however, growing attention has been paid to the best known type of flat weave, the gelim, revealing both its quality and variety. Other flat weaves such as the palas, which is no less frequently found than the gelim, have scarcely been mentioned in any of the literature published so far, yet are shown in this work to be objects of great beauty and diversity. The book is divided into two parts. The first deals with the cultural background to the subject. Drawing on literary sources as well as surviving examples, it describes the long history of flat weaves, showing their relation to pile weaves. The second part of the book deals with the different types of flat weave in turn: gelim, palas, weft-wrapped weaves, zilu and jajim. It also covers the range of uses to which they were put.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851493357\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.1 x 8.8 x 1.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acc Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51187044155696,"sku":"VarietyBook_9781851493357","price":4118.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81E22UFQQ_L.jpg?v=1773575883","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/persian-flatweaves","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
