A short dictionary entry defining Wilton carpet as a Brussels-type pile carpet in which the wires are flat with a groove that guides the knife cutting the loops. It notes the French name Moquette, how wire size affects thickness and quality, the usual wires per inch (9 for Brussels, 10 for Wilton), and that the nap is sheared after weaving. Includes a cross-section figure of pile fabric showing cut and uncut loops.
