A similar but cheaper machine-made carpet, resembling moquette in construction and appearance, but finer and of better material.

A variety of Turkey carpet, woven by machine or, when more than 27 inches wide, on a hand loom, and consisting of strips of worsted chenille so colored as to produce a pattern on a stout jute backing.
