A 1910 London book on Oriental carpets, runners and rugs, with Jacquard-woven reproductions. It is built around numbered plates of knotted pieces, each captioned with size, warp and weft knots per inch and knots per square inch, followed by an analysis of each piece. The long discursive chapters (Allegory, Contemporary Arts, Carpets Runners and Rugs, Romance) range widely over mythology, Greek and Roman art, book collecting, and carpet prices and history, including the Ardabil carpet. Later sections cover Joseph Marie Jacquard and the Jacquard machine, Brussels and velvet pile carpets, and a comparison of printing and carpet weaving. Bibliographic lists and a detailed index close the volume.
