What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Early Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
The fourth new and enlarged edition of this work, published in 1913.
A fully comprehensive and fascinating early twentieth-century work on oriental rugs. Including chapters on buying and selling, maintenance, classification, and more.
Written by Dr. G. Griffin Lewis.
Containing twenty full page illustrated plates in colour, ninety-three in double tone, seventy designs in line, a chart, and a folding map.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, smart, with bumping to the head and tail of spine and extremities. Some general shelf wear to the boards. Internally, hinges slightly tender but firm. Volume is firmly bound. A slight bit of offsetting to the extremities to the title page, and the odd spot throughout, but otherwise pages are generally bright and clean.
Very Good
