OLSON RUGS CATALOG ~ 1925

Original 95+ year vintage catalog, with the intended aim of instructing the prospective owner of a new Olson rug on how to choose the right rug for their home...abundantly illustrated, authentic mid-1920's style throughout and offering a wealth of visual information on early 20th century American interior decor, not just rug options, but the color plates show all manner of room staging... 

In good, obviouslt used condition, one page is loose, but still enclosed, and it also includes, something of a rarity, an original Olson order blank. This has been filled in, but then, it seems Mr Chas. Livingston, of Verhoorseville, NY, changed his mind. He tore the order form out, and that is the reason why page 3 (the opposing part of the leaf) has come adrift.

Apart from that, it's all in good shape.

Twelve pictures uploaded, check 'em out, they are part of the description, too...
