Things made on the loom are called textiles, from the Latin word for cloth; and cloths used to dress the walls and furniture of rooms are called decorative, by contrast with architectiu'al, which refers primarily to the structin-es decorated. So that, when it was decided to publish this book on rugs and carpets; tapestries and endjroideries ; damasks, brocades and velvets; chintzes and cretonnes; drapery and furniture trimmings, the inevitable title seemed to be "Decorative Textiles."
