We prefer the uniform look of walt-to-waN carpet but Want this handmade beauty lo be seen and en- Joyed. How can we display our rug in a new way? SHEILA AND MAX. Pasadena Dear S and M: Sometimes the new way is really the old way. The first Oriental rugs were tapestries and were considered much too valuable and beautiful to be placed on the floor. They were considered art and thus hung on walls or draped over tables. It wasn't until much later that these sacred rugs were taken down from walls and tables and put on floors to warm the feet of wealthy Europeans. JTake your Oriental rug and place it where it will bring you the most pleasure. You might hang it over a sofa like you would hang a large painting. Or you could hang it on the wall of your foyer, where its exotic design and rich colors will captivate all who enter. An Oriental rug pro­ vides pattern and texture wherever there is a/bare spot in your home. Be bold. Drape it over your coffee table or end table and then just wait for the questiops to begin. Talk about a conversation piece! It's a natural. I have also seen an Oriental rug hung behind a bed in place of a headboard. This touch of Byzantine splendor in your bedroom might even inspire some Turkish delights. Auntie may have given you a Magic Carpet good for more than just a thousand and one nights, so make,the most of your good fortune. Dear MoNy Miiligan: We love the beauty of Oriental rugs and would like lo purchase one for our living room. However, our knowledge of them is as limited as our budget. Aay advice? TIMID. Woodstock, II. Dear Tim: The most important single piece of advice I can offer is to suggest that you run • don't walk • to your public library and check out a book on the subject of Oriental rugs. Study - do not skim - it thoroughly, before you part with that first farthing. For centuries Oriental rugs have been valued as works of art as welf as sound investments. In fact, buying Oriental rugs is an art in itself. So. long before you even venture your nose inside a rug dealer's tent, do your homework. A good primer will cover these important points: • What an Oriental rug is • How Oriental rugs are made • Where to buy an Oriental rug Selecting a rug • Color, design and size • Trying a rug at home before buying • Caring foe your Oriental nig rl • - • Plotting a floor plan • Major rug typfcs • A glossary of terms used by rug dealers After you have done some careful reading, you will no longer be quite so intimidated by the mystique-of (he world you are about to enter. But remember, it is the manner of merchants to first show the poor quality stuff and then to show the best. Caveat emptor!
