A 1926 German-language handbook by Leo Arthur on making carpets at home, covering knotted pile rugs (Giordes/Smyrna and Senné/Persian knots), flat-woven kilim and sumak, combined woven and knotted rugs, metal-thread rugs, and tapestry (Gobelin) weaving. It explains warping frames, making heddles, weaving, shearing and finishing, and gives construction plans for looms and knotting frames. Later chapters cover rug washing, care and repair, commercial rug types, home dyeing with recipe tables, pattern design and stencilling, and judging rug value. It is illustrated with 355 figures and a color plate of dye samples.
