From the Publisher
Persian Flatweaves
Parviz Tanavoli
The Book
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first comprehensive survey of the vast and fascinating
subject of Persian flatweaves, and in particular floor covers. Previous
publications on the subject have largely been dealers' restricted
catalogues focusing on a narrow geographical area or the weavings of a
particular group, or sections in more general books. This book thus
fills a huge gap in the oriental carpet and textile literature.
Flatweaves have until recently been seen as merely the products and
property of the poor. Since the late 1960s, however, growing attention
has been paid to the best known type of flatweave, the gelim, revealing
both its quality and variety. Other flatweaves, such as the palas,
which is no less frequently found than the gelim, have scarcely been
mentioned in any of the literature published so far, yet are shown in
this work to be objects of great beauty and diversity.
The book is divided into two parts.
The first deals with the cultural background to the subject. Drawing on
literary sources as well as surviving examples, it describes the long
history of flatweaves, showing their relation to pile weaves.
The second part of the book deals with the different types of flatweave
in turn: gelim, palas, weft-wrapped weaves, zilu and jajim. It also
covers the range of uses to which they were put.

The Author
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Professor Parviz Tanavoli is Iran's leading researcher on carpets and
textiles.
He has wide experience in the field among the country's diverse nomadic
tribal and village people and has published over thirty books and
articles on the subject.
Tanavoli's work has been praised for the first-hand information on
unknown textiles. Some of today's internationally known nomadic rugs
such as gabbeh and sofreh, are among Tanavoli's discoveries.
