He was an American writer, lecturer and adviser on Oriental rugs. Bachelor of Arts, Harvard, 1897, A.M., 1899. Master, Taft School, Watertown, Connecticut, 1899-1903.

Examples range in size from pillow to large, room-sized carpets, and include carrier bags, floor coverings, decorations for animals, Islamic prayer rugs (sajjadah), Jewish Torah ark covers (parochet), and Christian altar covers. Since the High Middle Ages, oriental rugs have been an integral part of their cultures of origin, as well as of the European and the North American culture. Geographically, oriental rugs are made in an area referred to as the "Rug Belt", which stretches from Morocco across North Africa, the Middle East, and into Central Asia and northern India.
