The Oriental Rug: : A Monograph On Eastern Rugs And Carpets, Saddle-bags, Mats & Pillows, With A Consideration Of Kinds And Classes, Types, Borders, ... With Some Practical Advice To Collectors

The study of Oriental rugs, therefore,can never lead to an exact science or approximate dogmatic knowledge. Whoever is interested in them must needs rely upon his personal judgment or the seller's advice. There is practically only one current book authority in the premises.A new volume on the subject would thus seem to be well justified. It is the hope of the author that this book may prove itself sound and practical, and that it may help to make more clear and simple the right appreciation of a valuable rug .
