I&#039;ve just read the reason why they are called insulators, and it wasn&#039;t anything to do with with the carpets.&nbsp; </p><p>Apparently the Victorians were obsessed with home entertainment, of which playing the piano was perhaps the most popular pastime.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; These glass cups, were introduced to insulate/deaden/suppress the sound of the piano when played.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
