3 comments about Once Upon A Carpet.
- This book is a wonderful book of unusual history of an everyday object. The rug has a history that most people don't know but Kathleen R Bashian "does!" and she wishes to share it with those of us who are curiouse enough to ask "The Rug?" yes that simple piece of wool, silk or many other fine fabrics has a past that only one women knows and now she wish to tell the stories of the rug under foot. It's stories play a bigger role then one would notice. In fact if one did read this book, one might ask "Why isn't that taught in history?" Indeed this book will bring a smile to your face and a few more brain cells satisfied. I would recomend this book for any one who has a rug under foot.
- Once Upon A Carpet is a unique and beautifully produced history and survey of the carpet through photographs and paintings. Author Kathleen Basbian presents her historical and cultural survey in six chapters: If The Rugs Could Talk? (carpets in diplomatic space); Roll Out The Red Carpet! (carpets in privileged space); From Cradle To Grave! (carpets in domestic space); This Is Holy Ground! (carpets in sacred space); Oriental Mystique! (carpets in exotic space); and Carpet Diem! (carpets in unexpected space). Basbian's lively and informative text is engaging, entertaining, and at times surprising. Once Upon A Carpet is further enhanced for the reader with an epilogue, endnotes, bibliography, picture credits, and biography. Highly recommended reading for students of popular culture, interior design, and carpet enthusiasts everywhere.
- From the fist moment, I knew this book was special. The cloth binding and gold-rimmed pages make it feel luxurious, the four-color prints throughout build that luxury and the richest treat of all is in the blend of language, stories, art, rugs and literature to weave a tapestry for the reader. We have only one oriental rug, but I treasure it even more now after visiting the history, mystery and romance of this cherished possession. Thank you Dr. Bashian!

1 comments about Oriental Rugs: The Secrets Revealed.
- Buying an Oriental rug is often a complicated process, so it's refreshing to find a guide which not only answers typical consumer questions on value and make, but which discusses contemporary rugs from across the Orient, from Tibet and China to Afghanistan and Iran. History blends with consumer tips on how to select and care for such a rug, offering plenty of insights from a leading dealer in Oriental rugs. Packed with color photo examples, ORIENTAL RUGS: THE SECRETS REVEALED is a 'must' for any consumer lending library.
