The International Magazine of Antique Carpet and Textile Art
Publication


Weaving is considered to be one of civilized man's first accomplishments. For thousands of years skilled weavers have produced textiles that are among the most beautiful of mankind's artistic achievements. The princely courts of the East, as well as its tribal and nomadic peoples, are celebrated for their wonderful rugs and kilims, embroideries and brocades.

The Mongols of India, the Safavids of Persia and the Ottoman Turks owned magnificent carpets and textiles, while the Emperors of China and the Lords of Japan valued their sumptuous silk robes above all else. Great tapestries and subtle embroideries brought warmth and color to the halls of medieval Europe, while in the ancient civilizations of Egypt and the Andes the rich and powerful were buried with textiles of great beauty and sophistication.
