Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Arts Society Tonbridge Talk : Wandering in search of Rugs
Wandering amongst the Nomadic Tribes of Iran & Afghanistan in search of 19th century rugs and woven art.
Brian Macdonald's time spent in Iran and Afghanistan during the 1970s began to foster a passion for the wonderful woven art produced by nomads on basic ground looms. His subsequent visits were spent travelling and searching amongst nomadic tribes for these exquisite 19th century weavings, which have become harder to find and have now virtually disappeared amongst the tribes themselves.
