A 1924 technical treatise on the structure, design and manufacture of carpets and rugs, by Professor Roberts Beaumont and published posthumously. It opens with the history of pile and tapestry weaving and Eastern hand-tufted carpets, then covers felt carpeting, Kidderminster, Scotch and Ingrain carpets, union patternwork, Brussels and tapestry carpets, Wilton and cut-pile carpets, and chenille and machine-tufted Axminsters. A final chapter treats pile structure and quality. It includes many weave drafts and point-paper design diagrams, loom settings, yarn counts, colouring schemes, tables, and halftone plates, with an appendix on Chinese and Japanese hand-tufted carpets.
