involved in major<span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/reproductions/" target="_blank"> <span style="color: blue;">historic restoration projects</span></a>.</span> As a circa 1930 business—and
one of two remaining Wilton Jacquard mills in the U.S.—<a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/about-us/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">our mill and team</span></a> are
simply able to design and weave floor traditional wool coverings in ways other
manufacturers cannot. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0px;">But what <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">is</i>
unusual is for us to be a part of something as big as the Minnesota State
Capitol Restoration Project. The multi-year, $309.674 million undertaking has
restored one of the country’s grandest state houses to its turn-of-the-century
glory—modernizing while burnishing, leaving history unscathed. We were honored
to accept the job of re-creating a carpet for the elegant and gilded Governor’s
Reception Room, a space the state’s highest official uses for speeches and
formal gatherings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0px;">With a gentle suggestion from our Philadelphia
friend Gail Winkler—who, with partner Roger W. Moss, quite literally wrote the
book on restoring 19th Century American buildings—Minneapolis-based HGA
Architects and Engineers found us to create the carpet. HGA wanted an American
mill with expertise in historic reproduction, said senior associate and project
architect Kimberly Sandbulte, “<span style="margin: 0px;"><a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Langhorne </span></a>was called
out as being the best, if not the only, American mill that could produce a
product similar to the original carpet.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0px;">That was in 2002. In 2017, the state house
reopened for business. Sandbulte and her team predict the restoration will
endure heartily into the next century. We tend to agree. </span><br />

“Over time, you really learn to value expertise,” said Lori
Olzewski, the firm’s director of marketing and business development. “One of
the things we like to do is build what we call experiential design: Our designs
tell a story. They’re based on how people live in a home, on experiences. We
were really drawn to the experience of the mill, how differentiated it is.”<br />

When our great grandfather and grandfather founded <a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/" target="_blank">LanghorneCarpets</a> in 1930, our company was one of many thriving American manufacturers.
Today, our Bucks County, PA-based, family-run business is a rarity in our
region and in our country.<br />
<br />
Langhorne began with six “velvet” looms purchased from Henry
Ford after his company found them too complicated, cumbersome, and costly for a
mass producer of “affordable” automobiles to run. Our team, our family, took on
the challenge of weaving the highest quality Jacquard Wilton wool carpets
anywhere. We did not make carpets for car interiors, but instead for the
interiors of fine homes and iconic structures in the U.S. and abroad. More than
80 years later, we proudly weave our carpets using the same methods our ancestors
did. Technology has changed and assisted us along the way, but we’d be nowhere
without the wise, dedicated and diligent workers and artisans of Langhorne
Carpet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In this season of celebrating and giving, of gathering with
family and friends, we’d like to take a moment to honor our staff—the Langhorne
family. Heartfelt gratitude to: Andy, Saul, Jose, Benny, Hector Pagan, Cheka, Wanda, John,
Sue, Felipa, Vanessa, Danielle, Carmen, Ana, Maria, June, Kim, Manny, Diane,
Michelle, Andi, Mark, Jerry, Lydia, Matt, Luis, Oti, Grace and Hector.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Thank you. Wishing you and your families, both at home and
at work and in your communities, healthy and happy holidays and all the best
for 2017.<br />
<br />
Cozy up on one of our carpets. We promise it’ll do you a
world of good.<br />

Lincoln Highway) in Penndel lately, you might have noticed some extra activity.
Scaffolding has gone up, down, and up again along the red brick wall that faces
the busy Bucks County thoroughfare.<br />

than a century of changes. When it was built in 1907, the structure was an architectural
pioneer because of its free-standing roof—no supporting beams. For generations,
our mill has withstood time’s tests. Alas, over the decades, the hand-painted
mural outside hasn’t had such luck. Through the years, environmental and
man-made conditions have taken their toll. Every few decades, we’ve had to
repaint it.<br />
<br />
This time, we’ve gone a step further. We joined up with <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Vital Signs</b>, a project founded in 2013
by our friends at Temple Contemporary (part of the University’s Tyler School of
Art) and Mural Arts Philadelphia. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Vital
Signs</b> pairs active, multi-generation Philadelphia-area businesses with
local artists to restore hand-painted exterior signs to their original glory.<br />
<br />
For the past few months, we’ve worked with artists and re-pointers to get our
wall back into shape. We’re excited to invite the public to an official reveal of
the restored sign at 1 p.m. on Thursday, December 1, 2016!</div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
Activity at our mill seems to increase in autumn. This
season is no exception: Langhorne Carpets family has been busy making our new <a href="http://blog.langhornecarpets.com/2016/09/newest-line-announced-by-langhorne.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Pixels</span>,</a> awaiting the installation of a new historic reproduction in a grand
government building, and ramping up our collaborations with cutting-edge
designers. </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Still, we wanted to stop to recognize the creativity of
longtime <a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/about-us/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Morrow family</span></a> friend Edward Murphy, a Buckingham, Pennsylvania-based
artist who re-purposed a box of our hand-punched cardboard Jacquards in his
studio.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Murphy is a sculptor known for his exploration and
manipulation of geometric shapes, and his use of found natural objects such as
bark and old wood. He shares studio space with his wife, a painter. The couple
works side by side in a late-19th century blacksmith’s barn on their countryside
property. Years ago, Ed brought home a box of unused Jacquards—the traditional,
rectangular hole-perforated cards that run through our looms, dictating the pattern
of each of our carpets—from the mill, envisioning using them for a future
project. For eight years, those Jacquards sat idle. Then he decided to renovate
the barn, turn the second floor into an office, and use the cards as a window
treatment.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
A large window looks southwesterly onto the artists’
property, offering a stunning view of nearby farms. But this summer was a hot
one. The Murphys needed relief from the sun streaming into their office. That’s
when Ed remembered his already-strung cards. “I just flashed on it. The cards
were exactly the right size,” he recalled. He screwed them in place, and,
behold: “A beautiful pattern of dots that are just random enough let in just
enough light, and disperses the pattern into the room.”</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Langhorne Carpets</span></a> applauds our friend Ed Murphy’s creative
reuse—and always welcomes creative thinkers and makers to our Penndel, Bucks
County mill for tours and inspiration.</div>

The circa 1786 Physick House belonged Dr. Phillip Syng Physick (1768-1837), the Father of American surgery, physician to James and Dolley Madison, Chief Justice John Marshall, Andrew Jackson and Benjamin Rush.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the 18th century, the Physick House was the largest residence in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Today, the attraction is open to the public and serves as an elegant example of both Empire and Federal styles—and of Dr. Physick’s less-than-elegant 19th-century surgical instruments. When lauded Society Hill-based interior designer and historic restoration expert Gail Caskey Winkler, PhD, FASID, asked Langhorne Carpets to create a carpet for the parlor in the Physick House, <a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/about-us/" target="_blank">the Morrow family</a> gladly accepted the opportunity to be part of the restoration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Along with partner Roger W. Moss, PhD, Winkler quite literally wrote the book on the restoration of late 18th through 19th century American buildings. In order to recreate the Physick House’s interior authentically, she chose a carpet pattern that had graced the floor of the reception room in the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond, Virginia, a National Historical Landmark that housed the Virginia General Assembly, the oldest legislative body in the Western Hemisphere. For the Virginia State Capitol, Winkler recreated a grand woven carpet featuring large medallions in shades of gold and tan that repeat on a terracotta background. For the Physick House, she set those same medallions against an intense green background to match the home’s wallpaper and décor. The pattern is now part of Langhorne Carpets’ Capitol collection.</span><br />

proudly announces the launch of our newest running line: Pixels. Woven
in pure wool on our Wilton looms, Pixels is so named because it includes
an impressive 35 different yarn colors in a vividly geometric pattern
that reminds us
of the tiny squares that comprise modern photographs. The story of how
Pixels came to be is a very happy accident for Langhorne and the Morrow
family.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For years, our Bucks County-based heritage <a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/" target="_blank">Wilton Jacquard mill </a>has been
the maker of choice for top-end international design houses.
Schumacher, Stark and other textile specialists have long visited to
Langhorne to commission, order and observe the fascinating
creation of their signature floor coverings. During one such visit,
buyers glimpsed the end run of a carpet—the outcome of running yarns
through a loom in order to change from one pattern to another. Although
unintentional, the resulting striated design struck
our guests as wholly unique and distinctly current, both traditional
and contemporary, artisanal and sophisticated. Our visitors encouraged
owners<a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/about-us/" target="_blank"> Bill and Winnifred Morrow</a> and head designer Andi Perlman to turn
the overrun into a full-fledged running line.<br />
<br />
Making Pixels intentionally was quite an endeavor for our expert group
of creelers, weavers and machinists. Feeding and maintaining nearly
three dozen distinct colors as warp (up and down) on looms like ours is
no easy task. But, as always, the mill was up
to the challenge. The results, we are all proud to say, are even more
spectacular than we expected. We hope you love Pixels as much as we do</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Langhorne Carpetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03970861416997129745noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827619812260342444.post-87338307102294104832016-09-06T10:36:00.002-07:002016-09-06T10:37:32.529-07:00Langhorne Carpet Company - A Close-Knit Family!<div class="MsoNormal">

story.” There’s the story of the wool itself, raised in the U.K. and New
Zealand, dyed here in our century-old Bucks County mill. There’s the story of
the design, created by in-house by our very own Andi Perlman/ Lydia Whitford
(intern), or in collaboration New York interior designer Alex Papachristidis or
Philadelphia talent Alex Stadler, among others. There’s the story of the
family—three generations that started out with an idea and Wilton Jacquard
looms that once belonged to Henry Ford.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But there’s much more to the story—and that’s what takes
place behind the scenes in our vital, vibrant working mill itself, one of very
few left in the United States or in the world. <a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/" target="_blank">Langhorne’s </a>floor, filled with machines,
some that have served us for decades, some that we’ve recently invested in.
They are our machines, and they are machines we often fix ourselves. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jerry Bell and Mark Wolf are two such fixers. Through the
years, the machinists have spent decades learning the ins and outs of each
loom, each part, each replacement part. Workers like Jerry and Mark have more
than skills. They have an encyclopedic knowledge of how Langhorne runs that
makes them absolutely essential to our operation. <o:p></o:p></div>

35 years ago, tying bobbins, creeling, weaving. Then a mechanic [<a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/about-us/" target="_blank">Bill and Winnifred’s </a>uncle] took me under his wing and taught me how to fix the
machines. How to make a part that’s no longer available to buy. How to assemble
every nut and bolt in a loom. How to solve a mystery and repair a problem.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Added Mark, “We are big, yet small. We create these
incredible pieces that go all over the world. We’ve made carpets for the Pope
and for ambassadors. And still, we’re a close-knit family. People matter here,
and it shows in everything we do.”<o:p></o:p></div>

subjects were easy to choose. Naturally, the Morrow family focused on the traditional,

Andy Ruiz stands in front of a Langhorne loom, alongside his
son June and brother Bennie. Together, they are two generations of weavers. “I
taught [Bennie and June] to watch the looms run… to listen to them, ” said
Andy, “To take pride in what they do.” To the Ruizes, the complex job of
transforming skeins of wool into precise designs is both a challenge and a
source of great satisfaction. “After all this time, I am still excited to come

<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For decades, Langhorne Carpets has proudly sourced pure, hearty wool from the United Kingdom. Durable British wool has been essential to the creation our Wilton Jacquard carpets. This July, our heritage Bucks County mill became doubly proud when British Wool Marketing Board representative Tim Booth dropped in from across the pon<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">d. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mr. Booth’s visit wasn’t his first—the Bradford-based textiles expert joked he’d gone out of his way to find the mill before. But the afternoon he spent with mill owners Winnifred and Bill Morrow served as a reminder of the history and commitment to integrity British Wool and Langhorne Carpets share.</span><br />
<div align="LEFT" dir="LTR">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Fifty-five percent of all British wool goes into carpets," said Mr. Booth, explaining that his native country’s particular climate has created particularly hearty sheep, which translates into particularly hearty wool. He also offered a presentation about one of the lesser-known advantages to using pure wool in the home: Fire safety. Wool fibers burn hundreds of times more slowly than synthetic fibers. Wool also tends to self-extinguish. (And, as we saw in a video featuring H.R.H. Prince Charles, wool is also biodegradable.)</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" dir="LTR">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">British Parliament formally established British Wool in 1950. Back then, the goal was to encourage the United Kingdom’s renowned sheep farmers and wool mills to collaborate in creating a uniform product that represented the best the country has to offer. Today, the British Wool Marketing Board (BWMB) represents more than 45,000 wool producers across the U.K. The nonprofit organization also works closely with H.R.H Prince Charles on the Campaign for Wool. Additionally, British Wool works globally to educate interior designers, distributors, showrooms, consumers—even school children—on the value of wool through an online curriculum, site visits and more. (Check out BritishWoolLearning.com for a truly adorable wool tutorial.)</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" dir="LTR">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No matter the client, said Mr. Booth, "We show them this is what quality looks like. This is what quality feels like." Langhorne always looks forward to new shipments of British wool, and new collaborations with the British Wool Marketing Board.</span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sophisticated and meaningful, the four-phase direct mail campaign is based on actual Langhorne customer experiences. Architectural photographs feature select historic, modern and casual homes across the country. There’s the stunning Manhattan penthouse of internationally renowned interior designer Alex Papachristidis, a longtime Langhorne creative partner. There’s the parlor of circa 1830 national landmark Old Economy Village, and a tranquil family vacation home by the sea, rendered in Atlantic blue and pure white.</span>

But we’re also very versatile. All of our work exhibits intricacies in design and color, which we apply to all our projects."<br />
<br />
The campaign also includes the story of the circa 1930 suburban Philadelphia mill and the Morrow family’s four generations there. The campaign touches on the source of Langhorne’s iconic carpets: the finest grade wools from <a href="http://www.britishwool.org.uk/" target="_blank">Great Britain</a> and New Zealand—as symbolized throughout by serene sheep and lambs. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But, perhaps most importantly, each mailer highlights proud portraits and stories of Langhorne’s exceptionally gifted team of creelers, burlers and weavers. This campaign is more than a campaign: It’s a document of the diverse and uniquely American story of Langhorne’s lasting heritage. </span></div>

of Caring’</i></b> philanthropic partnership is with the Washington, D.C.-based
nonprofit organization <a href="http://www.madeinamerica-usa.org/index.php/ct-menu-item-25">Made: In
America</a> (www.madeinamerica-usa.org) and Baltimore-area university
architecture and design students. They collaborated to transform Maryland’s
esteemed Carroll Mansion, a gem of Federalist architecture that belonged to the
last-surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Carroll Mansion
is one of Baltimore’s most beloved historic homes. Langhorne was honored to
play a role, along with other fine American artisans, the structure’s magnificent
makeover into an “All American House,” the result of a student competition to
transform the manse into a home befitting a seamelss modern lifestyle. The
students’ challenge: Outfit the home in only American-made furnishings, coverings
and accessories—and create a look that suits both the home’s Federalist bones
and more contemporary styles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We provided two
Jacquard Wilton woven wool 9-by-16 carpets: one in custom brown and gray from
our Moiré line, and the other in similar colorways in Willow, a pattern that
just so happened to be created by a textile design student at Philadelphia
University as part of the Morrow Design Competition in Philadelphia. We think our
donated carpets look spectacular serving as a baseline for pieces by more than
a dozen other American manufacturers.</span><br />

America, which promotes American manufacturing and competitiveness, find us?
We’ll let CEO James DeLorbe tell you. “We were searching for a high-end U.S.
manufacturer making the likes of what would be found in Carroll Mansion,” he
said, “To our great pleasure, we learned that not only was Langhorne based in the
U.S., but in nearby Pennsylvania—and making heirloom quality carpets of the
type Charles Carroll himself would have specified for his Baltimore mansion.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">“Student
designers in the design competition to create the All American House specified
two beautiful carpets, one for the Family Room, and one that would be the focus
point of a special exhibition room containing rare and unique home furnishings
made in America. We were especially impressed by the Morrow family’s over
80-year commitment to manufacturing in the U.S., to their employees and to
their community. It truly represents the essence of the American spirit of hard
work—what an inspiring story.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">As you may
know, we’ve been weaving museum-quality Jacquard Wilton wool carpets over the
decades as historic reproductions. Philadelphia’s Congress Hall, Wilmington’s
Winterthur Country Estate, Blair House in Washington, D.C., the Old Boston
State House and many more historically significant American homes and buildings
all feature Langhorne carpets. Every one woven in America.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Note:
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The exhibit, located at 800 E. Lombard St., will be on display until July 10. The museum
is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday; 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Thursday, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.</span></div>

Formerly, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Langhorne’s minimum custom order was 60 feet (20 linear yards). Today, it’s 15 </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">feet, only 5 linear yards. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
“Lowering our minimums gives designers a lot of flexibility, because they can </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">now order smaller quantities of custom work,” said Langhorne co-owner Bill </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Morrow, whose family has owned and operated the <a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/carpets/" target="_blank">Bucks County Wilton </a></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/carpets/" target="_blank">Jacquard mill</a>, hand-working and inspecting each piece, for nearly a century.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Despite the American mill’s history and heritage, the company itself continues to </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">innovate by offering services that other mills can’t—or won’t. “We’re expanding </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">our efforts to make our custom carpets as accessible as possible,” said Morrow, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">adding that the new option to place smaller orders is, “an entirely unique </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">opportunity.”</span><br />

It’s cherry blossom season, too. Blossoms have also popped up at Langhorne Carpets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Just in time for spring’s apex, the Bucks County heritage carpet mill introduces Shadow Flower, a new looped pile broadloom botanical from the design team at Langhorne. The running line comes in six timeless color ways.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wispy blooms of white and yellow, white and dark green and white and coral repeat on three pale green backgrounds. Pale green and white flowers repeat on a backdrop of sky blue. Gently contemporary, black-and-white flowers appear on both gray and white backgrounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Interior designers will find Shadow Flower an organic fit for bedrooms, garden rooms, solariums, living rooms, even dining rooms. Although the pattern has serendipitously appeared in season, Shadow Flower has year-round longevity.</span><br />

Stadler and Langhorne’s collaborative carpet features a Mexican-inspired <br />
geometric pattern “Josephine.” Josephine is comprised of varying-width stripes <br />
interlocking in a motif that pairs gorgeously with slender stairways and hallways <br />
of city spaces, naturally designates uses in open-plan lofts, and feels right at <br />
home in both Arts & Crafts and contemporary interiors, from “doormat to <br />
ballroom,” says Stadler.<br />
<br />
Speaking of doormats, smaller rugs will soon be available for individual sale at stadler-Kahn, Alexander Stadler’s renowned Rittenhouse Square shelter boutique in Center City, Philadelphia. Currently, the shop is showing bright and more neutral samples of the pattern for custom orders.<br />

Albarelli compiled a deep variety of vintage striped Mexican textiles when she lived in Mexico City in the mid 20th Century.<br />
<br />
Many of these Latin American creations shared a structural weaving system with Jacquard Wilton looms – based on 19th Century models guided by a deck of hand-punched Jacquards (the forerunner of computer punch cards) – that Langhorne workers used to weave carpets for nearly a century. The design is an homage to one of <br />
Philadelphia’s most beloved arts patrons.Langhorne Carpetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03970861416997129745noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827619812260342444.post-4775662370364091392016-03-08T07:14:00.000-08:002016-03-08T07:57:49.786-08:00Langhorne Carpet Historic Reproduction for Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church Remembered <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On the 200th anniversary of its founding, Philadelphia’s <a href="https://www.motherbethel.org/" target="_blank">Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church</a> and the United States Postal Service unveiled the <a href="https://www.usps.com/stamps/richard-allen.htm" target="_blank">Richard Allen Forever Stamp</a>, memorializing the church’s eminent and heroic founder and bishop, activist and civic leader. The Black Heritage stamp’s unveiling ceremony took place in early February, during Black History Month, in the historic church at the corner of 6th and Lombard Streets in Philadelphia.<br />
<br />
Langhorne Carpets was proud to be underfoot at that moment — and other special moments at Mother Bethel A.M.E. Two decades ago, Mother Bethel engaged the heritage Bucks County carpet mill to design and create a custom reproduction for the circa 1888 sanctuary floor. That carpet, a geometric repeat in six colors, including a rich red background, remains there today.<br />
<br />
Mill co-owner Bill Morrow joyfully remembers when he and his team were tasked with creating a carpet to befit the worship hall of one of America’s religious jewels. “It was the mid-1990s,” he recalls, “The church was undergoing restoration. We came in, looked beneath the pews, and pulled up layer upon layer upon layer of carpet until we got to the bottom.” A half dozen layers down, the Langhorne team discovered a textile that, estimates Morrow, dates back to the 19th Century.<br />

The family owned-and-operated business has long of working on historic preservationists projects, painstakingly recreating century-plus-old floor coverings. Among the sites where you’ll find Langhorne’s custom reproductions: Philadelphia’s Congress Hall, the Martin Van Buren House in Kinderhook, NY, Winterthur Country Estate in Wilmington, DE, the Blair House in Washington, D.C. and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Old Boston State House, to name a few.Langhorne Carpetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03970861416997129745noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827619812260342444.post-38560065696904161312016-02-12T10:07:00.002-08:002016-02-17T11:07:49.711-08:00Bill Cunningham Shares Langhorne's Love for Leopard<div style="text-align: center;">

pattern, wearing spots of black and gray, or adding pops of pink or aqua to the
wild cat tradition. Online, the photog referred to leopard spots as “certainly
one of the fashion world’s favorite patterns.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Langhorne Carpet has been designing rugs with cat-like spots
for years. The heritage Wilton mill offers broadloom lines of traditional
leopard, in natural leopard browns. It, like those style-savvy New Yorkers,
also offers gentle departures from the fashion tradition. “Safari” features
wild feline spots in deep, watery blue tones. “</span><a href="http://www.langhornecarpets.com/carpets/category/broadloom/galaxy/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Galaxy</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">”

(Pope Francis, greeted by Archbishop Charles J. Chaput and
dignitaries, stepped off his American Airlines flight from New York City and
onto the specially designed, woven wool Langhorne carpet at PHL September 26<sup>th</sup>)<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Suburban Philadelphia’s Langhorne Carpet Company,
established in 1930, is honored to have designed, woven, and donated three wool
carpets – including the captivating 9’ x 75’ ceremonial red carpet - for the
Pope’s momentous Philadelphia visit on September 26-27. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Langhorne’s unique role in the Papal visit was
a result of its close collaboration with the hosts Archdiocese of Philadelphia
and the World Meeting of Families – Philadelphia 2015. All three carpets
featured the mill’s iconic, one-of-a-kind <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Medallions
of Hope” </i>design, greatly influenced by the contemplative and colorful stained
glass panels in Philadelphia’s Cathedral Basilica of Saints. Peter and Paul. Besides
the runner, the ‘Weave Team’ at the Jacquard Wilton mill loomed two loop pile,
Evergreen and Gothic Gold accent carpets that were featured floor coverings in
two rooms of the Rectory of the Cathedral during the Pope’s visit. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All three distinctive Langhorne carpets, which are now
deemed historic objects and become the permanent property of the Archdiocese,
were the subject of significant public and media attention before and during the
Papal visit that attracted more than one million people to Philadelphia and a
global television audience in the hundreds of millions. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b><br />

"We remain honored and humbled to have been a part of
the Pope’s visit, and thrilled that the labor of love of our Weave Team members
was featured on a world stage associated with a truly extraordinary, inspiration
international leader,” explains William Morrow, President of Langhorne Carpet
Company. “His message of peace, hope and harmony resonates with everyone and our
participation exemplifies the importance of our ‘Carpets of Caring’ program.”
Morrow commented, “From a design standpoint, we were delighted that our
partners permitted us to design outside the traditional, solid-red box of
ceremonial runway carpets. The Gothic Gold medallion border was respectful,
distinctive but not dominant.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Langhorne’s role involved many firsts for the small custom
weaver:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the first carpet woven for a
Pope, as well as the first time any of its carpets had been blessed. The Rev. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Robert Gross of Our Lady of Grace in Penndel,
PA, and a neighbor of the mill, presided over the blessing ceremony that was
attended by numerous government officials, friends and mill family members. And
local and national media.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was also the first time a Langhorne carpet received a
lights-and-siren police escort. Penndel’s Police Chief led a UPS Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEV), donated for the occasion by the global carrier, the 32
miles from the mill to the staging area at Philadelphia’s airport.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
As a result of the Papal visit experience, it may not be
long before Langhorne Carpet, long regarded as the foundation of fine
interiors, is also known as the gold standard of red carpets. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Under its
long established <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘Carpets of Caring’</i>
philanthropic program, the family-owned, 85-year-old Penndel, Bucks
County-based textile company is weaving the Jacquard Wilton 100% organic wool
carpets on its treasured Delaware County-manufactured <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“broad looms” for use during this historic
occasion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Based on Langhorne’s
original “Medallion of Hope” design, the 75’ x 9’ carpet will be rolled out and
used during the Holy Father’s arrival and departure at Atlantic Aviation and
the other two room accent carpets will be used inside the rectory of the
Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The Airport
carpet, presented in Cardinal Red and Gothic Gold, features the decorative
medallion border inspired by a section of the Cathedral Basilica’s stained
glass windows. It requires nearly 191,000 yards of yarn (more than 100 miles)
and will consist of more than one million individual woven loops. </span><span style="font-family: Cambria;">The <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">carpets
in the Cathedral rectory</span> will feature the same signature medallion motif
with the repeating six-inch diameter medallions.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Family-owned and operated, Langhorne’s relationship with the Ford Family, which began
with the mill’s initial purchase in 1930 of several pre-owned Ford looms, continues
with the weaving of a new, museum-quality wool carpet for Ford Home, Henry
Ford’s birthplace now located in Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan. Langhorne
was commissioned by the Henry Ford Museum to create a carpet for the legendary Michigan
auto pioneer’s home from his early years. Bill Morrow, whose great grandfather
bought the looms from Ford, says, “In many respects, the best thing that
happened to Langhorne Carpet was Ford’s decision to stop making carpet flooring
for his cars. That jump started our business 85 years ago.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif";"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b>2015</b>
is fast becoming one of our most prolific years, especially in terms of adding
new collections and custom designs to our running lines. Here are some exuberant
examples of our woven wool carpets:</div>

<div style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 2;">
In fashion, white is usually confined to the closet
until after Memorial Day when warmer weather takes hold. But in home décor,
white has always had a following regardless of season. In response to
trendsetting designers and decorators – we have unveiled this new collection of
white-on-white in tone-on-tone styles and textures. </div>

original designs are inspired by the beauty of nature, from wildlife to wildflowers,
sometimes a great design theme is looking us right in the eye, from the top of
our desk. Such is the case with Scatter, an ‘etched’ design inspired by the
inside of the common envelope. We are excited about the initial response to all
seven captivating colorways.</span></div>
