"The Oriental Rug" by William De Lancey Ellwanger is a detailed monograph on Eastern rugs and carpets written in the early 20th century. This work explores the artistic and financial significance of Oriental rugs, elaborating on the various types, regions of origin, designs, and dyeing methods while also providing practical advice for collectors. The author positions these textiles as not just decorative items but as valuable art forms and historical artifacts. The opening of the text draws attention to the allure and intricacies surrounding Oriental rugs, depicting them as multifaceted works of art that require a discerning eye to truly appreciate. Ellwanger discusses the common misconceptions about rugs, contrasting the superficial perception of them as mere household items with a deeper understanding of their complexity and history. He emphasizes the mystery that envelops these pieces, including their uncertain origins and the challenges in navigating the market, where genuine antiques are rare and often misrepresented. This sets the stage for a comprehensive guide that aims to enlighten readers about the beauty, value, and authentication of Oriental rugs.
