| Title: Caucasian Carpets and Covers: The weaving Culture |
| Author: Richard E. Wright and John T. Wertime |
| Edition Year: 1995 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Textiles |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book offer a comprehensive view of nineteenth and twentieth century knotted pile rugs and flat woven textiles from Caucasia in the light of recent research. Written by two acknowledged experts in the field, the text is securely based on original written and photographic sources, coupled with a systematic analysis of woven structures. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the consequent opening up of communication and trade between the West and the newly independent Caucasian republics has resulted in the release onto the market of previously little known items, in particular flat weaves. This development calls for a re-evaluation of the subject of Caucasian weaving, a demand which this book seeks to answer. |

The author stresses the importance of the French connection in the nineteenth century and the cross-fertilization of ideas engendered by the strong demands of a European fashion whose love of the Oriental produced the rival Jacquard shawl. Changing fashions at the end of that century saw the demise of the shawl. |
