Decorating With Fired Earth.
Woven in rich, jewel-like colours, and infused with symbolic meaning, woven tribal rugs are highly prized possessions. 'The Kilim & Tribal Rug Book' tells the fascinating story of rugs both ancient and modern, delving into their history, their decorating potential and care.
Steeped in history, the story of tribal rugs evokes the colourful lifestyles of the nomadic tribes, as well as showing how the skilled weaver sets about her task. Designs are either handed down from mother to daughter or created spontaneously in vivid colours. In every case, the intriguing images and patterns on the rugs are explored and their hidden meanings explained.
An inspirational centre section shows how to enhance the home with tribal rugs and kilims in traditional as well as contemporary ways, with kilims in strong geometric patterns; not only on floors, but also on tables, beds and out of doors - all to glorious effect. The final section deals with the practicalities of how to care for your rugs, to ensure they look their best for years to come.
