Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is a singular lack of books in the English language treating directly of rugs, a theme which is so intensely interesting to buyers, it is noteworthy that under the category of oriental carpets are to be found a few volumes of interest. These, however, are too rare and expensive for the general reader. For this reason I have undertaken to present in a concise form certain facts that may enable a novice to appreciate the beauty and interest attaching to rugs, and assist a prospective purchaser in judging of the merits of any particular rug he may desire to possess. -- Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oriental Rugs Page F iveand sweeps out when the rugs are cleaned, and rots when wet, thereby loosening the texture of the whole rug, to its great detriment. Cotton warp and weft, though cheaper than wool, is harder and stiffer than a wool foundation, and rugs which con tain it ordinarily lie better. Cotton occurring in the pile, as it often does in certain rugs in parts of the design in Ghiordes rugs, for example wears well and by remaining white and sharp, gives snap and freshness even after the rug has attained great age. Silk and hair in the pile gives pleasing color and variety. The second question, concerning the quality of material, is also important. Rug material varies in cost all the way from two cents to thirty-five cents a pound, and in character from the softest and most tender to the strongest and most rigid. The best is both strong and rigid. Pile material that packs down is lifeless and unattractive. It is important that a purchaser should know whether he is paying for the pick of the eece or for what is essentially waste product.

Download or read book Oriental Rugs Antique and Modern Classic Reprint written by Walter A. Hawley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oriental Rugs, Antique and Modern By study and cultivation the European as well as the American is growing to value more highly the products of Oriental art. When the old sea captains carried on trade with Japan, they imported into Europe large quantities of Imari ware, which the Japanese purposely decorated with crude and vulgar colours to meet the less refined taste of the Europeans, who regarded many of them as fine speci mens of ceramic art and studiously Copied them in their factories. But so great has been the change in artistic taste since then that now they are valued principally as objects of curiosity. Likewise, many beautiful Japanese Makimonos, in which a few strong lines gave but a hint of the essential thought, formerly passed before the eyes of Europeans as the paintings of semi-barbarians. But now we begin to see, as did Whistler, that they are often the prod ucts of great genius and that they express thought and feeling with marvellous power. There has been a similar growth in the appreciation of Oriental rugs. Even within the last generation this growth has been apparent, so that the few who wisely bought those old worn pieces which thirty years ago hung at doors of little shops where dark-faced foreigners invited acquaintance, are now the envy of the many who, too late, have learned that to-day they can scarcely be bought at any price.
