    Hardcover. Condition: g. First edition. Quarto. 112pp. Original photo-illustrated dust-jacket over gilt-stamped black cloth. Pictorial endpapers. This striking work was published in conjunction with the auction of the Te-Chun Wang collection at the Baur Au Lac Hotel, Zurich, on November 16th, 1978. It features exceptionally fine examples of imperial, temple and household carpets of the mid-19th century. This volume is a definitive catalogue of the Te-Chun Wang collection, and an introduction to the art of Antique Chinese carpets, their symbolism, origins, uses, design and construction. Dust-jacket partly rippled, due to damp-exposure. Moderate age-toning along paper margin. Dust-jacket in overall fair, binding and interior in good to good+ condition.
