2017 | Art, Photography & Fashion
This book features the collector/author's well informed views about a careful selection of mainly 19th century knotted pile carpets and flatwoven covers in various techniques from his own extensive collection, which has been built up over a period of more than four decades. Many of the rugs, which are all of the highest graphic and artistic quality, have been acquired without recourse to the open market and are therefore previously unseen and unpublished. Raoul (Mike) Tschebull's long experience in the genre allows insights that go beyond the conventional wisdom of the traditional antique oriental carpet bazaar. His collecting career began under the aegis of one of the great US collectors of a previous generation, Joseph V. McMullan. This beautifully illustrated book will include a general introduction to the Caucasus/Azerbaijan area setting the context for the focused presentation of some 70 examples, each with the author's comments about design, structure, technique, attribution and dating. It accompanies possible lectures at Museum conventions, and Carpet & Textile Society meetings in the USA.
