The practical book of oriental rugs
A collector's handbook on Oriental rugs by G. Griffin Lewis, published by J.B. Lippincott in Philadelphia and London in 1920 for American buyers, dealers, and amateurs learning to identify weaves by region. The plates are full-rug photographs reproduced in deep reds, blacks, and gold, showing medallion fields, prayer niches, stylized animals and floral sprays, and stacked guard borders useful as pattern and palette sources.
