The Art of Weaving
Axminster carpets are renowned for their exceptional quality and intricate designs, meticulously woven on specialised looms. Unlike traditional tufted carpets, individual yarn tufts are precisely inserted into the backing, creating a dense and durable pile that can withstand high-traffic areas while maintaining its luxurious appearance. This centuries-old craft, originating in the town of Axminster in Devon, England, has been preserved and refined by skilled artisans, ensuring that every Axminster carpet is a true work of art.
