A very remarkable collection of antique Chinese rugs and oriental art objects : collected by Y. Fujita & Company of Kioto, Japan
An 1910 auction catalogue issued in New York by the Fifth Avenue Auction Rooms, offering a collection of antique Chinese rugs and oriental art objects assembled by Y. Fujita & Company of Kyoto, Japan, for prospective buyers and collectors. The pictures are black-and-white halftone photographs of individual rugs, each shown flat and centred on a plain page with its lot number printed beside it. Their dark ground, pale floral medallions and bordered fields show how repeating geometric and floral layouts resolve into a rug's overall pattern, useful for designers studying rug composition and border structure.
