Rugs of Czechoslovakia

This industrious nation in the short period between the first and second World Wars achieved an enviable reputation in the production of both machine and handmade carpets.

Because her hand-knotted fabrics were less expensive than the Savonnerie and the Austrian, she developed a thriving busi­ness in the United States, both in rugs designed here for special rooms and in room-size reproductions of French, Spanish and English floorcoverings.
