Wilton

Velvety floor covering

Wilton is a type of carpet woven on a Jacquard loom, producing a dense, durable pile with patterns woven through rather than printed on the surface.

Named after the English town where this weaving technique originated, Wilton carpets are considered high-quality floor coverings: The old house still had its original Wilton in the parlor.
