ARRIVAL OF THE NEW Wilton Squares To a carpet lover there is ho joy equal to that of seeing a new shipment of "floor pictures." The same enthusiasm possesses him as is stirred in j the connoisseur of pottery by the gracious lines ! and exquisite design of some craftsman of the j long ago. To the Oriental, Carpets are the most important articles of furniture. They sit on them, sleep on them, and, on a prayer rug, with their faces towards the East, when the Muezzin calls, they perform their daily devotions. Small wonder that for many hundreds of years the weaving of Carpets became an honoured craft, wherein families made a name for design and' colouring of surpassing excellence. s Naturally, also, these rugs, which were made to last for hundreds \ of years, are beyond the reach of any but the collector. | . It remained for modern science and industry to reproduce these | • beautiful Rugs in such a way that none save the expert can tell which is j the handwork of Hafiz, A.D. 1400, and which the product of the looms in 1918. - | Only in the Wilton, with its fineness of texture, can be reproduced ! the wealth of detail which Eastern imagery places on a carpet it values. i The ancient Persian pine, the cabalistic signs of dead and gone dynasties, j the geometrical designs, and the exquisite, soft colourings, are all shown in £ the beautiful assortment -we have ready for customers' inspection. j One novelty which will attract much attention is the Vestibule Rug, in lengths from 6ft. 6in. by 4ft. 6in. to 15ft. by 4ft. 6in. In these the Persian designs are seen to perfection against plain and all-over centres. S Wholesale ft Family Drapers, JST FTP* 1 253-263 Qaaeen St., Auckland. |
