I'm kinda with Battara on this one. There were fine examples of almost any tool depending on the tradesman and their particular trade. The fine rugs coming out of Persia and Turkey were fit for royalty...why not a fine set of tools to go along with it? its just like those betal nut cutters with their elaborate forms and (sometimes) materials...I mean, they were a nut cracker, for Lord's sake!
