		Au départ AXMINSTER est le nom de la petite ville anglaise de la province du Devon en Angleterre, ou fut produite en 1755 par Thomas Whitty la première moquette issue d'un nouveau procédé de fabrication basé au départ sur un nouage manuel des touffes de laine.
		Ce procédé est passé ensuite à la postérité sous le nom de tissage axminster, technique quasi contemporaine et rivale en fait de son "cousin" le tissage wilton (lui aussi d'ailleur dénommé du nom de la ville où il est apparut) et s'est développé au fil des 3 derniers siècles pour parvenir jusqu'à notre époque.
		Sur la plupart des métiers axminster la densité des fils de chaînes (pitchs) est constante, fixée en fait au moment de la construction du métier en lui même, et elle est généralement de 7 pitchs/inch ou 7/2,54 cm ou encore en norme métrique de 27,60 pitchs/10 cm ou 1 dm.
