About this book

Buyers of Oriental rugs are the readers of this handbook by G. Griffin Lewis, which describes each variety on the market by its identifying features and weave. A chapter on design uses line drawings so that patterns can be matched, and retail prices per square foot are given for each kind.

Advice covers choosing, buying, caring for and cleaning rugs, and spotting fake antiques and aniline dyes. This revised edition has twenty colour plates, ninety-three doubletone pictures and a new chapter on Chinese rugs.
