Description | Beautiful
book and catalog of early Turkish carpets from the Brukenthal Museum in
Romania exhibited at the National Museum in Gdansk, Poland. The
Brukenthal National Museum is home to the largest collection of
classical carpets in Romania. The Gdansk exhibition featured stunning
examples of Holbein, Lotto, white-ground Ushaks, and a wealth of
Transylvanian rugs. The catalog is illustrated with color photos of
several dozen rugs, plus additional images of Transylvanian churches
where many of the rugs were originally preserved and discovered. "This book is a tribute to the beauty of the Anatolian rugs in the Brukenthal Museum and of the Churches in Transylvania where they survived. These are best photos ever published about this treasure with an introduction by Stefano Ionescu and an essay about the history of the carpet collection of the Brukenthal Museum by Dr. Alexandru Sonoc. Includes detailed notes and a new theory of the design origins of the 'Transylvanian' group". |
