1913 The Practical Book of Oriental Rugs by Dr. G. Griffin Lewis – Illustrated Antique Carpet Reference

Description

An original 1913 revised edition of The Practical Book of Oriental Rugs by Dr. G. Griffin Lewis, published by J. B. Lippincott Company in Philadelphia and London.

One of the classic early English-language references on Oriental carpets, this work was written for collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts during the height of the early 20th-century rug collecting movement. It includes detailed descriptions of regional weaving traditions, construction techniques, identification charts, and numerous black-and-white and color illustrations of antique rugs.

This copy retains its original decorative cloth binding and fold-out identification chart. It shows honest age-related wear, including soiling to the cloth cover, toning and foxing to the pages, and some loosening of the binding from years of use, but it remains complete and fully readable. A wonderful reference book with excellent display appeal for collectors of Oriental rugs, antique textile books, or historic decorative arts. It also makes a fantastic coffee table book for anyone with an appreciation for antique carpets.
