About the Item
Carpets and Rugs of Europe and America Large Hardcover Book by Sarah B. Sherrill.An in-depth survey of carpets and rugs, from 15th century to modern. 463 pages, with much interesting detail, color photographs throughout.In this comprehensive volume, Sarah Sherrill examines Western carpet design and production from the Middle Ages to the present, in styles that range from magnificent palatial creations to delightful folk designs. With hundreds of dazzling illustrations, Sherrill's authoritative text includes chapters on Moorish weavers and the golden age of carpets in Spain; the exquisite carpets of the Savonnerie, Aubusson, and Beauvais in France; productions from Moorfields, Exeter, and Axminster in England; the intriguing but little-studied rugs of Eastern European countries; the charming and resourceful rugs of America; and an important chapter on modern designs that offers an extensive survey of rugs created by leading artists and architects of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Sherrill's stimulating text, based on years of research, brims with interesting new findings, not only on the history and design of these works, but also technological developments that had an often unrecognized effect on rug design and production.

This Reference Book on Antique Carpets is an education & essential for any serious collector.
Y & B Bolour Gallery located in Beverly Hills, one of the most prestigious art galleries in Los Angeles. The gallery specializes in antique carpets, tapestries, and pillows, boasting an eclectic catalog of unique Turkish, Indian, European, Chinese, and Tribal rugs:
“Y & B Bolour is a family business dealing with antique carpets, started by Mr. Rahim Bolour, of blessed memory, in Teheran, in the early 1920s. Through the years, the business grew, and in 1978 moved to London and added European carpets and tapestries to the inventory. In 1988 the family business decided to move to Los Angeles, continuing the family tradition of antique carpets and tapestries.”
Y & B Bolour has published three hardcover designer books...
