About the Item

“Check Points on How to Buy Oriental Rugs” book by Charles W. Jacobsen. Rutland: Charles E. Tuttle Company: Publishers, 1972. Third printing hardcover with dust jacket, 208 pp. This book explains in detail the pitfalls, the unethical practices, the exaggerations, the camouflaged defects, and the overpricing one finds in the Oriental rug market. It also reveals wholesalers who are strictly ethical and the diminishing labour supply willing to hand-tie the four million or so knots that make a 8 x 5 rug. It is illustrated with 27 black and white photos and 24 in full color. NPT Books a division of N.P. Trent Antiques has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
