Sample length of Massachusetts Mohair Plush Company "Frieze Plush" figured upholstery fabric, in dark green. 1914. This was a standard pattern on some of the large railroad systems in the US at the time of its donation. This is a figured pile weave with a spaced, detached rosette pattern in uncut pile against a cut pile ground. The backing is cotton; ground warp and weft are dark blue. The pile is mohair, in green. This gives an overall color effect of dark green, with the rosette design created by uncut (looped) pile standing out slightly lighter in tone against the cut pile ground. The rosette pattern is arranged in rows in slide repeat. Given by Massachusetts Mohair Plush Company, headquartered in Boston with a mill in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1914, along with samples of mohair fiber in various stages of processing, and samples of the company's finished textiles.
