Research notes

Reversible length of wool Scotch or ingrain carpeting, bought in 1976 from a dealer in Camden, Ohio. Colonial Williamsburg also holds a Scotch/ingrain fragment dated 1830–60 (object 6860) and a double-cloth piece (1835–80) whose label notes that woven coverlets and ingrain carpeting share materials and weave structures, and that double and triple cloth carpeting is 'a distinctly British (and beginning in the 19th-century, American) textile tradition often referred to as ingrains'. Also comparable: MFA Boston 'piece of ingrain carpeting' (mid-19th c., double cloth, colours reverse on back).
