4 Short History Of Their Early
Origins and Kinds.

About the Different kinds.
Most rugs are made according to one
Of two methods. which gives % woven
and tufted carpetings., The latter n
distinctly oriental and in made upon
a foundation warp composed Of hemp
en-, wooden or silk threads. The mum.
Der Of these threads depends upon the
breadth Of the rug and 1ts desired 6no-
ness or coarseness. Lengths Of col
ored wool or the hair of q camel or
goat or silken threads are knotted ON
to the warp threads, with the two ends
of the individual twists standing ND.
What is called a welt thread 10 then
run across the warp and another nne
Of tufts made. The whole IL brought
securely together by means Of q hand
instrument, the ends Of the tufts clip
ped to an equal length by expert IN
gers, and thus tufted rug is completed.
Writing in 1882, Pierre Dupont. 4
master carpet maker Of Paris, said he
was convinced that rug weaving was
taught to the French by the saracens
after the latter had suffered defeat at
the hands of Charles Martel in 726
The middle ages found the art -four
ishing all over Europe and especially In
France and Flanders. Colbert, minis
ter of Louis XIV, who did so much to
aid the birth Of industrial France, e.
tablished the Hotel des Gobelins in
1867 as a state mandatory, and the
enterprise grew to be one Of tho nota-
BILE institutions of the realm.
In 1901 William III. Of England
granted royal charters to weavers in
Wilton and Administer, towns which
were to give their names to types Of
carpeting that have come down to the
present day. The fame Of the Wilton
rug was largely due to Henry earl OF
Pembroke and Montgomery, who
brought two Frenchmen, Antoine Du-
fossy and Pierre female, to England
and put them in charge of operations
at Wilton. Their skill and enterprise
won fame for the establishment In q
little while. Other French and Flemish
weavers followed, and tho industry
was fairly launched.
The opening of the nineteenth Gen.
fury saw much experimentation In the
effort to produce satisfactory ma
chine made carpeting. Erastus b. Biee-
low, an American, and william Wood,
an Englishman, perfected the jacquard
loom to a point where 1t could be de-
pended upon to turn out Q uniform
product of good quality. The passing
years have witnessed further impor-
tant development, and results are now
accomplished by mechanical process
that will stand the test Of comparison
with the hand made article.
Not until 1880 did the French turn to
machinery for carpet weaving, and
they at first adopted English machtn-
cry to great extent, So it was that
the art first crossed the channel aud
then came back in a different form
after the lapse of centuries.
In America We have produced at
least one kind of hoor covering which
we may claim as our own-the rag
rug. In colonial times rag rugs were
made in considerable numbers. and !;
was deemed fine accomplishment for
woman. Much ingenuity was shown
In the matching of colors.
