  • The Story of Axminster Carpets
    Magic Carpets – the Axminster story Magic Carpets-the Axminster story Introduction Up until the 18th century Age of Elegance, few people in this country would have set foot on a carpet. The fl oors of the homes of this Isle would have been made of beaten earth covered in rushes or straw threshings, fl agstones or wood. As late as 1751, a carpet was described as “a sort of covering to be spread on a table, trunk, an estrade (dais), or even a passage or fl oor”. In Scotland, in the latter part of the 18th century, a fl at reversible double-woollen fl oor cloth was becoming popular as a means of rendering the houses comfortable and as “a security against stone buildings, stone staircases and a cold climate”. “Kidderminster stuffs”, initially used as table cloths, were adapted in 1735 as a coarse double-weave cloth for fl ooring, but it was not until the middle of the 18th century that the glorious hand-knotted seamless carpets were born in the market town of Axminster and spread on the fl oors of palaces and country homes of Great Britain and beyond. The inventor of Axminster Carpets was a local man – Thomas Whitty – and it is his story and that of the second great weaver of Axminster, Harry Dutfi eld, which this booklet seeks to record.

SHADING, PILE PRESSURE OR PILE These are natural characteristics of all cut pile fabrics. This is especially noticeable on REVERSAL plain and tonal shades or open ground designs, and is the result of pressure causing a change in the direction of the pile, giving light and dark patches, accentuated by room lighting. This does not affect the quality or life of the carpet and is not a fault of manufacture. The regular use of an upright cleaner will help to alleviate this effect. FADING Photobleaching is caused when the natural yellow pigment which gives wool its creamy colour reacts with ultra-violet light making the wool appear much whiter. Carpets containing large amounts of undyed wool, such as Berbers, are especially susceptible.

PREFACE. IT is perhaps in the order of fitness, that the first and most comprehensive treatise on "Carpet Manufacture" embracing as this does Designing, Colouring and Weaving of Brussels, Wilton, Tapestry, Axminsters and Ingrains should emanate from such a great carpet manufacturing centre as Halifax. Hitherto this subject has received, in comparison with its importance, far less attention than any of its contemporary woven products, for whilst many excellent literary works have appeared dealing with other branches of the Textile trades, the ' Carpet ' Industry has been left severely alone. Hence this work is issued to supply the deficiency and may therefore claim to be unique and distinct in character.

FADING Photobleaching is caused when the natural yellow pigment which gives wool its creamy colour reacts with ultra-violet light making the wool appear much whiter. Carpets containing large amounts of undyed wool, such as Berbers, are especially susceptible. Although every care is taken to ensure our dyes meet strict requirements, carpets, as with other natural textiles cannot be dyed absolutely fast to light and with the increase in UV rays, carpets will fade when subjected to daylight. Normal wear and light soiling will also give the appearance of fading and both effects are obviously beyond the control of the manufacturer.
