The rectangular shape gained popularity when the young Queen Victoria favored it early in her reign, but both styles were used through most of the 19th century. These were woven in England (Paisley and Norwich being centers of production), as well as in some European locations, using elaborate drawlooms in the early period, followed by the more mechanized Jacquard loom by the 2nd quarter of the 19th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
