A one-page French encyclopedia entry on velvet (velours) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It gives the definition and idiomatic uses, then a technical account of weaving velvet with two warps and cutting rods (fers), with an engraving of a velvet loom and a diagram of the process. It also covers silk, cotton and wool velvets, the main varieties, and a short history of velvet manufacture and its centers.
