A dictionary entry on carpets from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary (1876). It gives a historical survey of carpets from ancient Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Turkey and India to their introduction in France and England (Axminster, 1755). It then lists nine manufacturing processes, including tufted, Brussels, Wilton, tapestry, ingrain, felted and printed carpets, and ends with cross-references to carpet varieties.
