Description: This handbook contains black-and-white pictures and describes groupings of Middle Eastern rugs, their patterns, coloring, manufacture, and estimated antiquity. Substantial changes were made between the first and third editions, including the deletion of a whole group of rugs and additions based on new research. The translator was able to add notes based upon his own research into the ownership of certain rugs.
