A two-page magazine article from Arts and Decoration surveying the state of tapestry weaving in the United States around 1919. It profiles the Baumgarten looms (founded 1893 in Williamsbridge, Bronx), the Edgewater Looms under Lorentz Kleiser, and the Herter Looms in New York City. It also briefly describes the tapestry process (cartoons, high and low warp, cotton warp, wool and silk wefts, dyeing) and encourages patrons to buy American-made tapestries. Photographs show the J. R. McLean tapestry room in Washington and tapestries from the Edgewater, Herter and Baumgarten looms.
