Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter VII THE HOOKED RUG IN COTTON AND WOOL WE may safely say that the hooked rug or the pulled rug, as it is sometimes called, is the most important of the handmade rugs. It has been more successfully developed under new conditions of craftsmanship than any other of the old-fashioned rugs. In nearly all the show rooms of the Arts and Crafts Societies there are examples of it in charming colors and appropriate designs. Two village industries have been started to make it; one in the mountains of New Hampshire and one at Cranberry Island, near North East Harbor, Maine. Besides these two industries there are many isolated workers making successful hooked rugs. The larger industries have been placed on a sound financial basis, and the workers who are mostly women are extremely well paid. These women of the New England farms have been associated with this style of rug and its traditions for several generations. They are nearly all familiar with the gentle art of hooking and have therefore helped to revive this branch of craftsmanship in this section of the country. While they are familiar with the technique of hooked rugs, they have not been able to give their products a market value, because they could not plan them from the standard of modern craftsmanship without the knowledge of design and color arrangement. I remember the first time I saw a hooked rug. I at once realized that in its technique were the possibilities for the development of a crafts-manlike rug. Though certainly the appearance of the one I first saw was anything but hopeful. It came from Prince Edward Island, Canada. The maker had evidently been carried away by the enthusiasm for her skill in hooking and had ingenuously and likewise ingeniously, worked in a pattern of...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The handmade rug industry has gone through a revolution in the last twenty-five years, and no one is better placed to explain how and why than Fritz Langauer and Ernst Swietly, who have been buying, making, collecting and writing about rugs for over fifty years. Rugs are now being made in colours and designs unimagined just a few decades ago. This new book is the only title available that shows how carpet making has changed in all traditional rug making nations as well as demonstrating through images of rugs in interior settings how the style and use of rugs has changed. Carpets carry many unspoken narratives about peoples and places - this new book reveals some of these for the first time thanks to the first-hand experience of the authors in the souks and bazars of the Middle East. AUTHORS: Ernst Anton Swietly grew up in a family that had just one single carpet. It was rolled out only once a year, during the Christmas holidays, and on each 7 January, the carpet was rolled up and hidden behind a box until next Christmas. Since then, for Ernst, carpets have been a symbol of peaceful, warm, cosy family get-togethers. Later on, Ernst A. Swietly - a journalist for fifty years - travelled the carpet-producing countries of the world discovering the secrets of handmade weaving and their design principles. This is how he met Fritz Langauer, and they realised it was time to write a book on the carpet world of the 21st century. Fritz Langauer is the son of the businessman Friedrich Langauer who, with his cousin, Adolf Böhm, founded Adil Besim OHG immediately after the Second World. As one of the sons of the two founders, Fritz Langauer joined the company in 1957. With its five branches, a carpet laundry and repair workshop, it developed over the years to become one of the largest department stores in Europe. SELLING POINTS: * For the first time, a lavishly illustrated book shows how traditional handmade rugs and carpets have become vehicles for contemporary trends and used in interior design and home decoration * The authors' work in journalism and rug production over the last fifty years equips them with the experiences of the travel writer and the specialist knowledge of leaders in the global rug market * The developments in the weaving industry in India, Iran, Turkey, China, Turkmenistan, Morocco, Pakistan and Afghanistan are reviewed as well as the historical and cultural context for change in a book that shines a light on the contemporary rug market in the 21st century 350 colour and 20 b/w photographs

Antique Rugs from the Near East (Classic Reprint)

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Antique Rugs From the Near East The interest thus awakened in Oriental rugs and the growing delight in colorful interior decoration, soon brought the attention of the antique trade to truly old specimens. These appeared in different places in the Orient itself, particularly in Turkey and several adjacent countries, and also in Italy, Spain and Portugal. Even earlier, silk carpets were eagerly purchased by several wealthy collectors who laid especial emphasis upon the magnificent and artistic furnishing of their houses. Other rugs, whid1 had usually been discarded by churches and palaces because of their more or less damaged condition; could be secured very dieaply in Spain, southern Germany and especially in Italy. These were gladly purchased by various museums and by artists who used them in furnishing their studios. Thus scholars gradually became interested in Oriental rugs and began to study them, though only incidentally and with hesitation. It became evident that the very numerous specimens which dealers brought to Europe from the East were almost all modern. But on the other hand, old paintings frequently bore reproductions of rugs which were identical with a few in the antique trade. Then the philologists began to study the inscriptions whid1 appeared in many rugs. Such material, as well as existent information from historical sources, were used for the determination of age. The comparison of the decoration of rugs with that of ardiitecture, metal work, pottery, textiles and other manifestations of Oriental art, gave further indi cations. On the other hand, modern rugs made in the different regions of the Near East and Central Asia were used to determine the origin of the antique specimens. This method was especially popular among the large _rug dealers who did buying and manufacturing in those regions. Several exhibitions and subsequent publications particularly furthered the understanding and interest in Oriental rugs-above all, the great Vienna Rug Exhibition of 1891, followed by the important publication devoted to this exhibition and by a supplementary volume in 1907. In 1908 Martin's history of Oriental carpets appeared and finally in 1911 came the publication on the Mohammadan exhibition in Munich.

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.
