Velvets such as this were termed jardinière, or giardino, for the floral designs and the variety of colours. The five colours present here would have necessitated five supplementary warp threads in addition to that used to create the satin ground, these being passed over rods to make a looped pile. Some of these loops were subsequently cut to create the two heights of pile known as ciselé. Velvets of this type were much in demand for the upholstery of furniture. One example is in the collection of the V & A (accession number: 340A-1891)
