内容简介：

该出版物旨在调查伊朗一个重要但被忽视的地毯编织时代。时间跨度介于两个非常重要的日期之间，这两个日期相隔正好150年。第一个，1722年，标志着萨法维德王朝的垮台。第二个日期，1872年，标志着现代地毯复兴的正式开始，当时需求的增加吸引了欧洲的关注，并改变了该行业的结构。迄今为止，普遍的看法是，两者之间没有发生多少事件，地毯产量总体下降。谢天谢地，情况并非如此，否则这本书就不会存在了。新证据揭示了设计演变、蓬勃发展的车间和有声望的佣金的时期。通过仔细研究纪录片来源、不同媒体的艺术品，但首先是手工打结的地毯本身，这个被遗忘的波斯地毯时代的荣耀变得栩栩如生。

"Shedding light on a forgotten age of the Persian carpet, this publication offers a complete reassessment of weaving in the period 1722-1872 in Iran, featuring many previously unpublished pieces in full color

This publication sets out to investigate a significant yet overlooked era of carpet weaving in Iran. The time-span stretches between two highly significant dates, which are exactly 150 years apart. The first, 1722, marks the downfall of the Safavid dynasty. The second date, 1872, represents the formal start of the modern carpet revival, when increased demand attracted European attention and changed the industry's structure. Prevailing opinion has hitherto been that in-between not much happened and that there was an overall decline in carpet production. Thankfully that is not the case, otherwise this book would not exist. New evidence brings to light a period of design evolution, thriving workshops and prestigious commissions. Through careful study of documentary sources, artworks in different media but first and foremost the hand-knotted rugs themselves, the glory of this forgotten age of the Persian carpet is brought to life."
