As regards Ms. Jackson's query on 20th century repros, we had good luck with a company called "Family Heir-Loom Weavers," R.D. #3, Box 59E, Red Lion, PA. They replicated an 1883 wool, pea-weave carpet for installation at the Chateau de Mores State Historic site, doing a nice job for a reasonable price. Contact me off-list for details if you want to do so. Chris Dill - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - C. L.
