自 13 世纪以来，在 “地毯带”（包括摩洛哥、北非、中东、中亚和印度北部）制作的地毯一直是魅力和收藏的源泉。这本引人入胜且易于理解的书探讨了这些作品的历史、设计技术、材料、工艺和社会经济背景，促进了对这些经常被误解的作品的更好理解和欣赏。55 张伊斯兰地毯的例子用新照片和揭示细节进行了说明。生动的文本引导读者，教他们 “如何阅读” 地毯中的线索。沃尔特・丹尼（Walter B. Denny）将这些地毯置于其生产的文化和社会领域，无论是游牧营地、乡村还是城市车间。这是想要了解伊斯兰地毯艺术的学生、收藏家和专业人士的重要指南。

Carpets made in the “Rug Belt”—an area that includes Morocco, North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and northern India—have been a source of fascination and collecting since the 13th century. This engaging and accessible book explores the history, design techniques, materials, craftsmanship, and socioeconomic contexts of these works, promoting a better understanding and appreciation of these frequently misunderstood pieces. Fifty-five examples of Islamic carpets are illustrated with new photographs and revealing details. The lively texts guide readers, teaching them “how to read” clues present in the carpets. Walter B. Denny situates these carpets within the cultural and social realm of their production, be it a nomadic encampment, a rural village, or an urban workshop. This is an essential guide for students, collectors, and professionals who want to understand the art of the Islamic carpet.
