Some time ago (I think on this list) I saw a request for information about historical reproductions of ingrain carpet. Last night I noticed an extensive list of sources in a small book, Floor Coverings for Historic Buildings, put out by the National Trust. If the requestor can't find this book, let me know and I'll snail mail or fax you the pages. Other books in the set cover wall coverings, fabrics and lighting, and contain both general information and source lists. Hope this helps. ivy Ivy Fleck Strickler Phone 215-895-1637 Drexel University Fax 215-895-4917 Nesbitt College of Design Arts [log in to unmask] Philadelphia, PA 19104
