PLEASE NOTE:

Grosvenor Wilton period-reproduction carpets are woven in two historic pile types: Wilton (cut pile) and Brussels (loop pile). Today there is a small difference in price, but in the 19th century the coveted Wilton carpets cost double the price of Brussels. In the Federal Period, when floorcoverings were prized and extremely costly, most wealthy American families had Brussels carpets in their best rooms. By the mid-nineteenth century, Wilton carpets were more common in the best parlors, with Brussels (or ingrains) in the lesser rooms of the house. In the late nineteenth century, frugal families still carpeted with Brussels or ingrains, but families who wanted to show they had a little money to spare preferred the velvet look of Wiltons. The Arts & Crafts Movement carpets are all offered as cut pile carpet.
