Alfred Lapworth & Co.
"Following the closure of the Axminster manufactory in Devonshire in 1835, the demand for floral carpets made in the Rococo revival style was supplied by the Wilton Royal Carpet Factory, located in Salisbury, although the term ‘Axminster’ was still employed for the finest quality pieces, particularly for those woven from 1860 onwards, when Alfred Lapworth bought the factory from the Blackmore family."
