Knots: Art & History

The Berlin Carpet Collection
Herausgeber: Anna Beselin

Knots, Art & History. The "Berlin Carpet Collection" is the first English publication of the reunited carpet collection of the Museum für Islamische Kunst, Berlin, located in the Pergamonmuseum on Museum Island. Europeans have been fascinated by oriental carpets for more than 800 years. These were collected and treasured as luxury items, and used for decoration as well. Surviving European paintings demonstrate that oriental carpets were carefully selected and displayed. Anna Beselin is Head of Textile Conservation and Curator at the Museum für Islamische Kunst. With many years of conservation practice and postgraduate studies in art history, she has accrued comprehensive knowledge of Islamic carpets. Here, Beselin captivates the reader with her extensive expertise and personal insights gained from working with the carpets. She breathes new light into the Berlin Carpet Collection.
