Excerpt from Oriental Rugs Page F iveand sweeps out When the rugs are cleaned, and rots When wet, thereby loosening the texture of the whole rug, to its great detriment. Cotton warp and weft, though cheaper than wool, is harder and stiffer than a wool foundation, and rugs Which con tain it ordinarily lie better. Cotton occurring in the pile, as it often does in certain rugs in parts of the design in Ghiordes rugs, for example wears well and by remaining white and sharp, gives snap and freshness even after the rug has attained great age. Silk and hair in the pile gives pleasing color and variety. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
