A Brief History
Axminster Carpets
Axminster Carpets are the main product of 
Kidderminster today, but this product 
is a relative newcomer from the
late 19th century. Taking the name of an 
earlier form of hand-knotted rug
(the finest and most expensive English carpets), 
Chenille Axminsters, developed in 1839 
by James Templeton of Glasgow, 
simulated the rich quality of the 
hand-knotted rugs and could weave 
room size seamless rugs (sadly, these are 
no longer made anywhere). Spool and gripper 
Axminsters were a later development 
that made a durable machine 
woven carpet with a thick pile, 
but of a more modest expense 
than other woven carpets. These are still 
made in large quantities for hotels, pubs, 
and residential use. William Morris 
and C.F.A. Voysey were among the 
famous designers who drew patterns
 for Axminster carpets.
