axminster carpet

الإنجليزية - الإنجليزية

تعريف axminster carpet في الإنجليزية الإنجليزية القاموس.

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

A variety of Turkey carpet, woven by machine or, when more than 27 inches wide, on a hand loom, and consisting of strips of worsted chenille so colored as to produce a pattern on a stout jute backing

It has a fine soft pile

A similar but cheaper machine- made carpet, resembling moquette in construction and appearance, but finer and of better material

So called from Axminster, England, where it was formerly (1755 1835) made
