About this book
Carpets of the Persian, Asia Minor, Caucasian and Central Asiatic groups are described in this study by Walter A. Hawley, who wrote it after John Kimberly Mumford's 1900 book on the subject. Most classes of rug get a general account and a technical analysis called "Type Characteristics" to help owners identify a rug.
Other chapters cover weaving, rug-making before the eighteenth century, telling one rug from another, and buying. The first colour plate shows a section of the Holy Carpet of the Mosque at Ardebil, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, with its inscription naming Maksoud of Kashan and the year 1540. There are eleven colour plates, eighty half-tone engravings and four maps.
