Kidderminster carpets were also called Scotch carpets because they were often made in Kilmarnock, Scotland.  However, this particular example was manufactured by Messrs. Dove and Co. of  Leeds in the mid-19th century and has a pattern of stars and crosses inspired by jewellery motifs.\r\n\r\nThe carpet industry flourished between 1830 and 1850 due to technical innovations which provided looms to weave numerous variations of floor coverings with Kidderminster, Wilton, Axminster and Kilmarnock all centres of production.","physicalDescription":"Sample of Kidderminster carpeting woven in double cloth with a worsted warp divided into two series of threads, one series in white, the other alternately in red or green. The wefts are woollen and divided into two series in which blue, white, yellow, gray, green or red threads are combined. With a design of stars within four-sided compartments alternating in red or green. The ground between the compartments is mottled with a pattern predominantly in green and white.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Messrs.
