A short French article by velvet weaver Philippe Demoule explaining how cut-and-looped silk velvet (velours ciselé) is woven by hand. It covers the satin or taffeta ground, the separate pile and binding warps, the creel (cantre) with individual velvet bobbins, and the Verdol and 104-hook jacquard mechanisms. It also describes the rabot and the weft-inserted irons (fers) used to form looped (frisé) and cut (coupé) pile. Illustrated with creel diagrams, photographs of tools and an engraved plate from Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie.
