Storia del kilim anatolico

Dario Valcarenghi
Electa

I tappeti kilim sono l'espressione di una tradizione nata tra le donne dell'Anatolia circa novemila anni fa e trasmessa di madre in figlia per centinaia di generazioni. Al di là dell'aspetto tecnico, questi preziosi manufatti rappresentano una testimonianza culturale ricca di fascino e di mistero: il significato delle complesse simbologie racchiuse nei disegni dell'intreccio è ancora in buona parte da decifrare, e implica una lunga ricerca delle loro radici filosofiche, religiose, persino alchemiche. Questo volume presenta 160 preziosissimi esemplari di kilim.

Asian Jewellery

Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter
Skira Editore

The ultimate reference book on the ethnic jewellery of Asian peoples. A comprehensive picture of jewellery beginning with prehistory and continuing into the 20th century with the works of contemporary designers. Ivory, beads, leather, shells, enamel work, precious metals, and stones, alone or in combination, are all illustrated throughout. Pieces chosen for their exceptional quality and historical importance, through wonderfully composed photographs, come to life here. It is rare for jewellery to have a solely aesthetic purpose, for above all it is anchored in the social, religious and political contexts that lend it meaning. Differing attitudes are explained by the function assigned to jewellery in the traditional societies from which the examples in the book are drawn.

Sammlung Cremer
Arnoldsche

The Cremer Collection covers a wide geographical span from Armenia to Finland and Morocco in the west and from Iran to Tibet in the east. Most are knotted pile products whose history dates beyond the great traditions of carpet design, going back several thousand years. The collection is a result of the discerning eve of an accomplished artist who has purposely limited his collection to 99 pieces so that the inner coherence of the collection does not "burst its banks". The genuine and great collectors are distinguished by the fact that they are able to seek out just those things which could be their own children from among the immense variety that is offered.
