All colors run with the warp, concealed, and are brought above the foundation in loops to produce the pattern. The type is believed to have originated in or near Brussels; was popular in the first half of the 19th century. They differ from Wilton carpets, which are produced by a similar process but the loops are cut, producing a soft pile surface. ]]></note></mads>
