Axminster Carpets™
Among the carpets featured on this site are the only authentic Axminsters made by Axminster Carpets in the town of Axminster, England. By using the original Axminster weaving process, they are made mostly from natural fibres, made in Britain and they are ravishingly, stunningly beautiful.
Because some aspects of the Axminster manufacturing process cannot be patented, there are other carpet manufacturers who can make ‘Axminsters’, but they are not the same as the trademarked British product. Our Axminsters are natural, British and beautiful, often 100% wool, jute backed, and in many cases made on eight pitch looms, the ultimate in quality, unique to the Axminster Carpets company.
One of very few carpet manufacturers who can claim ‘from fleece to floor’, Axminster Carpets make woven Axminsters and Wiltons as well as highest quality tufted carpets, all famous for comfort and long lasting durability, recommended by generations. If that makes you associate Axminsters with the past, however, think again. Real Axminster TM carpets range from stunning plains in everything from neutrals to high fashion colours, to fabulous textures and contemporary patterns, to the splendour of those newly modish antique style carpets in the grand French and Persian traditions.
Axminster Carpets is also the only manufacturer to spin its own yarn and manufacture Axminster, Wilton and Tufted products for commercial specifiers as well as for the domestic market. In the commercial and interior design sector, the company offers stock ranges, innovative bespoke design skills, bespoke services, technical support and project management capabilities.
Axminster Carpets is one of the largest manufacturers of Wilton carpet for transportation applications. From blending through to dyeing, the company ensures a consistent quality and ultimate compliance with ISO 9002 is maintained.
Axminster Carpets is able to produce a wide range of specifications to meet the budgets and needs of each individual client, and those selecting an 8 pitch specification have the opportunity to develop their own designs with truly remarkable clarity and quality. Axminster is the only manufacturer with a UKAS accredited laboratory in-house.
