Encyclopedia article on tapestry from Rees's Cyclopedia (1819). It covers the origins and history of tapestry weaving in England (Mortlake) and France (Gobelins, Aubusson, Felletin, Beauvais) and Flanders, then describes how high-warp and low-warp looms are built and worked. It also describes Le Blon's draw-boy method of weaving tapestry in the loom and closes with a section on carpet manufacture at Chaillot and its introduction to England (Fulham, Axminster, Wilton).
