Abstract
THE pile carpet, though now an essential element in European domestic economy, is of foreign origin. Weaving is one of the most ancient and widespread of arts, and to produce a pattern by interlacing continuous threads is a natural development from it. Rom this to using threads of different colours is an easy transition. But to set the threads in a vast number of short lengths upon end, and to pack them so tight that they keep that position, entails so much skill and uses so much material that they can only have been originally produced in response to very special conditions.
