Excerpt from How to Make Rugs The subject of Home Industries is be ginning to attract the attention of those who are interested in political economy and the general welfare of the country, and thoughtful people are asking them selves Why, in all the length and breadth of America, there are no well-established and prosperous domestic manufactures. We have no articles of use or luxury made in homes which are Objects of com mercial interchange or sources Of family profit. To this general statement there are but few exceptions, and curiously enough these are, for the most part, in the work of our native Indians.

Excerpt from A Century of Carpet and Rug Making in America: 1825-1925 Hieroglyphic representations of carpets and weavers have been found in Egypt, where began the world's first known civilization, yet many designs always present in Turkish and Persian carpets, even down to modern examples, can be found in the carvings of the temples of Yucatan, temples that were constructed when Egypt was an undiscovered waste-land, and Babylon a wooded spot between two rivers. With the exception of the myths and the more enduring representations in stone on the rock-cut tombs of Beni Hasan, and a few frail fragments of tapestry occasionally unearthed from Egyp tian ruins, the first widespread knowledge of the carpet came from the East - from Persia, from India, and from Turkey. The organized manufacture of Oriental carpets is a comparatively new phase of the industry. For centuries they were wovenin the homes by domestic labor. The women of the tribes gathered around the looms while the head woman made a rough design upon the ground and apportioned the wool, sometimes chanting in weird singsong the number and the color of the stitches. It was the task of the men to make the dyes, to gather alizarin roots, seeds, herbs, nuts, and berries, from which natural sources literally thousands of shades of one color could be derived. With these simple materials they produced rare shades ranging from the poignant red of spilt wine to the delicate pink of a faded rose, from the pastel green of the spring's first birch tree to the living green of the laurel leaf - colors which We know not in our day, like the undiscovered purple made from Mediterranean shellfish, which was probably a glowing crimson, and was the chosen color of royalty. The earliest known carpets of the Orient possessed a flat surface, rather than the velvety face of the cut or loop-pile. Such were the carpets of Soumaki*, a no longer existing Khanate west of Shirvan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from How to Know Oriental Rugs: A Handbook The demand for Oriental rugs in America increases rapidly. A few years ago they were little known out side the seaboard cities and a limited number of collections elsewhere; but to-day there is scarcely a town in the country, East or West, where they are not used and more or less intelligently discussed. They may now be said to have become a permanent factor in house-furnishing everywhere. We have turned to the products of the East because they possess greater artistic merit than the work produced in this country or Europe.

Excerpt from Oriental Rugs From the old city of Lule in Persia, he answered; my father was born there; it is a fine old town. It was plain he was going on to tell the threadbare narrative, as venerable as the city of Lule, and as fictitious, of how this particular bit of carpet was more than a century old-was, in fact, an heirloom in his family; of how his father had died just after bringing it all the way to this country, and it could now be had for the wretched sum of fifty dollars, because its associations made him so sad. As a matter of fact, the name Lule is a corruption of the French roulez, and is given by Levantine dealers, whose business is largely transacted in Gallic, to a class of carpets so thick, so tightly woven, that they cannot be folded, but must of necessity be rolled up for shipment.
