As one of the few authorities on the subject, Ellwanger's volume enables readers to appreciate the intrinsic beauty and value of oriental rugs, facilitating informed investment decisions. Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn about one of the art world's most intriguing treasures.

"Since Roman times, Oriental rugs have been trasured possessions of all who appreciate beauty and luxury. But until the late 18th century, the magnificent rugs of China were almost unknown to collectors and connoisseurs in the West. Because of their relative scarcity, antique specimens now command fantastic prices, but it is still possible with some knowledge of the subject, to find quality, semi-antique specimens at reasonable prices. This book provides the criteria for identifying and understanding the most important aspects of Chinese rug collecting. The author, Adolf Hackmack, was a respected dealer in Chinese rugs at Tientsin. Before political conditions made research impossible in China, he was able to collect a vast amount of data available nowhere else. He covers what is known of the origins of rug making in China, with comments on the notable run producing centers such as Manchuria, Kansu, Tibet, Shantung, Chihli, and Chinese Turkestan. He explains Chinese weaving techniques, knots, dyes, patterns, and devotes considerable attention to explaining the symbology of Chinese rug design. You will become familiar with the meaning of such symbols as the phoenix, clouds, water, peach blossoms, flower vases, fans, chess boards, scrolls, fruits. Taoist motifs, emblems of honor, happiness, longevity, scholarship and love. No other writer on this subject had access to such a variety of sources, not only in superb private collections, but even in the vast collections at the Imperial Palace in Peking, and the temple treasury at Nara, Japan, which houses Chinese antiques from the T'ang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.)--Publisher's description, back cover.

Just when the art of weaving originated is an uncertainty, but there seems to be a consensus of opinion among archæologists in general that it was in existence earlier than the 24th century before Christ. The first people which we have been able with certainty to associate with this art were the ancient Egyptians. Monuments of ancient Egypt and of Mesopotamia bear witness that the products of the hand loom date a considerable time prior to 2400 B.C., and on the tombs of Beni-Hassan are depicted women weaving rugs on looms very much like those of the Orient at the present time. From ancient literature we learn that the palaces of the Pharaohs were ornamented with rugs; that the tomb of Cyrus, founder of the ancient Persian monarchy, was covered with a Babylonian carpet and that Cleopatra was carried into the presence of Cæsar wrapped in a rug of the finest texture. Ovid vividly described the weaver's loom. In Homer's Iliad we find these words: "Thus as he spoke he led them in and placed on couches spread with purple carpets o'er." The woman in the Proverbs of Solomon said, "I have woven my bed with cords, I have [Pg. 18] covered it with painted tapestry from Egypt." Job said: "My days are swifter than the weaver's shuttle and are spent without hope." Other places in the Bible where reference is made to the art of weaving are, Ex. 33, 35, Sam. 17, 7, and Isa. 38, 12. Besides Biblical writers, Plautus, Scipio, Horace, Pliny and Josephus all speak of rugs. The Egyptian carpets were not made of the same material and weave as are the so-called Oriental rugs of to-day. The pile surface was not made by tying small tufts of wool upon the warp thread. The Chinese seem to have been the first to have made rugs in this way. Persia acquired the art from Babylon many centuries before Christ, since which time she has held the foremost place as a rug weaving nation.
