Scope note
Carpets created to look similar to the traditional body Brussels carpet, but produced by a cheaper method. For tapestry Brussels carpets, designs are printed on the warp yarns before the carpet is woven, rather than dyed-in-the-skein yarn used and the design produced in the weaving. Tapestry Brussels carpets may be machine printed or drum printed. One process to make these textiles involved a large cylinder or drum around which yarns were wound, then colored by a mechanism or by hand.
