Axminster carpet

Floor covering produced in a factory founded at Axminster, England, in 1755 by the cloth weaver Thomas Whitty. The carpets were knotted in wool on woolen warps, with wefts of flax or hemp, and featured Renaissance architectural or floral patterns. The factory closed in 1835 with the advent of industrial weaving machines. The name survives as a generic term for all machine-made carpets with pile similar to velvet or chenille.

Axminster carpet

A carpet having pile which is attached to the carpet backing by inserting the tufts by rows between the warp threads and then binding them by means of the filling; this method of carpet construction permits intricate design and almost any number of colors to be used.
