Carpets adorn living spaces across the length and breadth of the country and are appreciated for many qualities-their design, their colours, their 'feel'-but rarely their history. Yet, each carpet has a story hidden within its intricate details, and the value of a carpet is not only determined by what it costs, or by its technical and aesthetic qualities, but also by the story it carries. <i>Of Indian Carpets and Carpetwallahs: An Appreciation</i> tells the stories of Indian carpets by delving into the histories of an assortment of unique carpets-that of delicate Kashmiri carpets, a Herati-inspired carpet made in Amritsar, and even one made in Rampur jail-collected by Norwegian diplomat Jon Westborg over his lifetime.<br><br>
<i>Of Indian Carpets and Carpetwallahs: An Appreciation</i> melds history, memory, and aesthetics beautifully to create a complete and detailed picture of the Indian carpet-making tradition.
