About the Business
Because the eye can in a moment encompass the whole surface of a rug, it is assumed that it can be seen in a glance. But no worthy piece gives up its meaning so lightly. Its inner beauty is revealed only to a sympathetic and leisurely observation, which knows how to read the pattern.
The finer examples are often as elaborately composed as a symphony and as sensitively organised as a sonnet. The elements of the design are like notes in a melody or words in a poem: only as they are individually understood, interpreted and assembled is their meaning made plain. In order to see a rug, therefore, it is necessary to sense the quality of each component part, to feel the manifold relation of the parts to each other and to comprehend them in a harmonious and significant unity.
