123 Persian Rugs
These are the finest among Oriental rugs and are made of silk, cotton or wool. The warp is mostly cotton, with a short, close, velvet-like pile of silk or wool. Colours are very soft and lustrous, in designs of floral and animal patterns. Usually oblong shape. There are no undecorated spaces of plain colour. The borders are characteristic Persian ornament and the Herati design is a favourite centre motif as well as the " Pear." The use of a cotton warp is distinctive, since nearly all other Eastern rugs have wool (see Rug Designs) -
124 Petit Velours
French term for light cotton velvet. -
125 Petticoat
PETTICOAT, PETIT-COTE (French)Literally, a little coat. The word is first met with in Henry V's time as a Petit coat of red damask, but as it is described as having open sleeves, it must have been really a little coat. As late as Henry VII, the petticoat appears in ladies' wardrobes, and was worn with the kirtle, being made of silk, velvet, grosgrain, etc., fringed about the skirts with silk or bordered with gards, lace, fringe, etc. The petticoat absorbed the kirtle about 1630, and in the reign of Charles II there is mentioned " short under-petticoats, pure, fine, some of Japan stuff and some of Chinese." In 1712 is noted " a petticoat of rich, strong, flowered satin." A petticoat is now an underskirt worn by women. -

127 Pieds Court
A 17th century term for a French tapestry velvet. It was a coarse and cheap fabric and called by this name because of its narrow width. -
128 Plush
This is a fabric with a cut pile of silk warp and cotton back. The pile is longer than velvet pile and less densely woven. It is used for rugs, drapery, curtains, and upholstery. Mohair yarn is excellent for the pile of plush because when the pile is cut the fibres are erect and straight. Plush pile is produced in several ways: (1) by the use of wires which when drawn out cut the pile threads; (2) by cutting with knives during finishing; (3) by weaving two cloths face to face and severing the pile in the loom to separate the two cloths.
