Footnotes

  1. [2]

    Braids were woven or plaited fabric that was flat, round, or tubular; they were used for binding or trimming. (“Braid,” in Harmuth, Dictionary of Textiles, 24.)

    Harmuth, Louis. Dictionary of Textiles. New York: Fairchild Publishing Company, 1915.

  2. [3]

    Venetian Carpet, also called “striped Venetian,” referred to carpeting composed of colorful vertical stripes of wool with a weft of linen or hemp. While these carpets could be made on home looms, by the eighteenth century, they had begun to be produced in factories. (“Venetian Carpet,” in Montgomery, Textiles in America, 370; Philip Scranton, “Carpet Weaving and Rug Making,” Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia, 2015, https://philadelphiaencyclopedia.org/essays/carpet-weaving-and-rug-making-2/.)
