In this unique book, containing over four-hundred images and an eight page colour plate section, he shares his invaluable knowledge and takes the reader on a diverse and colourful journey through history, showcasing the vast range of carpets woven in Persia from 1850 through to the twentieth century. He explores the rich diversity and elaborateness of colours and designs available, from the traditional to the more modern and explores regional variations, styles, and terminologies.

Presented in an informative and accessible style, Edwards' love of the product and the industry shine through in his writing, presenting the reader with expert advice and knowledge as well as painting a fascinating cultural and historical landscape.
