| 520 | _a"Oriental Rugs, Antique and Modern" by W. A. Hawley is a detailed guide on the art and craftsmanship of Oriental rugs, written in the early 20th century. This work explores both antique and modern examples of rugs from various regions, particularly focusing on the weaving traditions of countries like Persia, Asia Minor, and Central Asia. The book not only serves as a resource for collectors and enthusiasts but also aims to enhance the appreciation of Oriental rugs as significant works of art. The opening of the text establishes a context for the increased interest in Oriental rugs since the early 1900s, highlighting their artistic value and the high prices some have commanded at auctions. Hawley discusses the essential elements of rug production, including weaving techniques and dyes, while also delving into the historical significance of the carpets. He emphasizes the differences in artistic expression between Eastern and Western cultures and articulates the need for a cultivated appreciation of the subtleties inherent in these woven masterpieces. Through this opening, readers are invited to understand the depth and complexity of Oriental rugs, setting the stage for further exploration in subsequent chapters.
