London: F Lewis, 1966. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 12" by 9". None. The second, revised and enlarged edition of this history of British Carpets.

There are chapters on carpets in general, carpets in Britain, 16th and 17th century developments, Turkish carpets, the 18th century onwards in Britain, embroidery, needlework and much more. The final chapter looks into carpet manufacturers. A charming work, which provides a fascinating insight into the history of this particular interior. In the publisher's original binding.
