Ravat's Persian Carpet History & Reference Material
The field of refence of Persian and Oriental Carpets is vast indeed, and any offering of a "comprehensive" reference on the various histories would be presumptious to say the least. We include here a limited and selected subset of information that may be of interest to the Persian Carpet Enthusiast. We also include references to some of the many excellent printed texts and links to references available on the worldwide web.
