The
word "Tapetology"
is derived from the combination of a Latin word for carpet and a Greek word for study.
Perhaps it will lend some panache to those wacky eccentrics we currently know as "Rug
Nuts". 
I became interested in oriental rugs many years
ago when I replaced the wall-to-wall carpeting in my house. I received quite a
miseducation through well-meaning but uninformed interior designers and rug showroom sales
staff.
Frustrated by the lack of information for consumers who wanted a good
overview to help them make an informed purchasing decision, I decided to write my own.
It's my hope that others will benefit from my experiences as a consumer, and later as a
collector and then a dealer. I welcome your comments
and suggestions.
