Ikat, Silks of Central Asia, the Guido Goldman Collection, 1997
Located in San Francisco, CA
Abr-bandi, the central asian name for the ikat technique, derives from the
Persian word abr which means "cloud". The ikat style is not limited to Central
Asia, but nowhere have the ikat designs known as abr, or the technique itself
proved so enduring or so gloriously inventive as in the ancient centers of
Uzbek and Tadjik handicrafts- Bukhara, Samrkand and the towns of the
Ferghana Valley.
The craftsmanship of the abr masters, the abr bandchi, was their patrimony;
their secrets and their repertoire of designs were handed down through the
generations. Yet this art form has always been responsive to change and
receptive to new weaving methods created to simplify the process without
sacrifice of artistry.
In the nineteenth century abr designs were used to decorate fabrics made into
winter and summer...

The authors were/are well-regarded antique carpet dealers. Y & B Bolour was established in Teheran for half a century before moving to London in 1978.

Y & B Bolour Gallery located in Beverly Hills, one of the most prestigious art galleries in Los Angeles. The gallery specializes in antique carpets, tapestries, and pillows, boasting an eclectic catalog of unique Turkish, Indian, European, Chinese, and Tribal rugs:
“Y & B Bolour is a family business dealing with antique carpets, started by Mr. Rahim Bolour, of blessed memory, in Teheran, in the early 1920s. Through the years, the business grew, and in 1978 moved to London and added European carpets and tapestries to the inventory. In 1988 the family business decided to move to Los Angeles, continuing the family tradition of antique carpets and tapestries.”
