Published
A published rug has been illustrated in a book, a journal, or an exhibition or auction catalogue. The publication becomes part of its documented history: it shows that the piece existed by that date, gives a fixed image to check it against, and records how the author described and attributed it. A rug that only resembles published examples is not itself a published piece.
