Axminster Carpets has been synonymous with carpet luxury and craftsmanship for over 250 years. They are Britain’s oldest, best known and most prestigious carpet designer and manufacturer. The high quality carpets can be found in royal palaces, the best hotels, sports stadiums and private houses.
Thomas Whitty began making Axminster method carpets in 1755. These original Axminster Carpets™ could be found in Chatsworth House and Brighton Pavilion as well as being bought by King George III and Queen Charlotte, who visited the factory.
182 years later, a carpet manufacturer called Harry Dutfield was on a train where he met a vicar from the West Country who told him that carpets had not been made in Axminster for a while due to a disastrous fire that had destroyed the factory. The germ of an idea was born and in 1937 the decision was taken to re-launch carpet manufacturing in the town of Axminster.
Axminster only use the very best raw materials. Wool carefully selected from a range of British sheep breeds, which we firmly believe are the finest in the world. The British climate endows wool with outstanding durability, warmth, flexibility and bounce. From there, it is spun into exceptionally high-quality yarns, ready to be woven.
Coupled with their reputation for quality, Axminster Carpets are also renowned for our world-class designs.The looms produce the most gorgeously detailed carpet designs and colours. From timeless classics like the tartan Myth & Moor to the contemporary repeat patterns of Hazy Days (and so much more!)
