The Tiffany Studios Collection Of Antique Chinese Rugs...

The classifications of Chinese rugs adopted by different students must necessarily vary. As there are no existing records of the evolution of the Chinese weaver's art, its traditional history can play no part in the formation of opinions. Therefore the classification of rugs must depend upon the recognition of certain technicalpeculiarities in them. These peculiarities reveal methods that either antedate or follow other methods of which we have a knowledge which makes it possible to placeobjects relatively with a great amount of accuracy. The technical peculiarities thatsupport trained opinion have been explained in the following chapters. They have to do with materials used by weavers, with the colors of these materials, and with the various methods of weaving them.
