Uncommon 1929 Book on Algerian Rugs & Carpets

“L’Industrie du Tapis a la Kalaa des Beni-Rached (Oran)”

By Lucienne Bonnet.
Published in Algiers by Jules Carbonel in 1929.

A survey of the carpet industry and history of carpet-making in the 
towns of Kalaa and Beni-Rached, which were in the Colonial French 
Province of Oran (which was larger than the current Oran Province). The 
text begins with a short history of the towns and their occupation by 
the Turks, Spanish and French, and then continues with a section devoted 
to the development of historical carpet making in the towns, followed by 
a section discussing the current (early 20th century) carpet-making 
trade there. Very uncommon.

Softcover. 6.5”x9.5”, 162 pages, 1 black & white illustration and 10 
black & white plates (3 of weaving patterns, 7 of rugs), and 10 line 
illustrations. Covers with moderate wear, some soil. Tips of first pages 
creased, endpapers soiled and worn, and with some additional light 
internal soil. Inscription by the author on the endpaper. $60
