Summary

The dhurrie -- for centuries the most popular floor covering in India -- is now becoming increasingly popular in Western homes. Its striking colors and the powerful simplicity and variety of its designs are the perfect accompaniment to twenty-first-century interiors. This is the very first comprehensive guide to the dhurrie, with lavish color photographs taken specially for this book by Jamie Govier. Each design pattern is carefully analyzed and clearly illustrated, and spinning, dyeing and weaving techniques are thoroughly explained. Dhurries is a vital source of information for collectors, would-be collectors and textiles aficionados everywhere, as well as an indispensable source of inspiration for anyone with an interest in color and design.
