More than a simple catalog of carpets. Readers will enjoy a thorough discussion of art deco and modernism throughout Europe and America in the early 20th century [and] develop a familiarity with the many influential designers and artists of the period. Rich and readable essays [are] accompanied by numerous color and black-and-white images. Recommended without reservation for academic and art libraries.—Library Journal

This thoroughly researched and beautifully designed book is generously illustrated with period black-and-white and color photographs of carpets and interiors, [and examines] handwoven and knotted carpets mirroring the avant-garde art and design movements in the first half of the 20th century Europe, and the debate between the craftsmen and industrialists.—Choice

Much more than a simple catalog of carpets designed by major artists of the Art Deco and Modernist period. . . . . [A] Beautifully presented as well as seriously researched book.—Antiques & the Arts Weekly
