Langhorne Carpet Company's House of Jacquards Meets Hollywood's "House of Cards"

PENNDEL, Pa., Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Langhorne Carpet Company, known in the interior design community as the "House of Jacquards" for its legendary museum-quality Wilton wool carpets, is about to add another credit to its impressive roster of historic landmarks with the exquisitely re-created, woven blue-and-gold carpet border in the upcoming new season of the critically acclaimed "House of Cards" series.

Bill Morrow, president of Langhorne Carpet, said the Bucks County-based weaver is honored to play a cameo in the award-winning dramatic series, "Our 19(th) century Jacquard-based style of carpet making - in which the elegant woven design is guided by a deck of hand-punched cards (Jacquards). The five-color wool carpet border is a superb reproduction that is exactly what the Set Decorator Tiffany Zappulla was looking for.

Langhorne Carpet's Virginia capitol carpet appears in the film, "Lincoln".

Langhorne Carpet, which has woven carpets for numerous historic residences, including the White House, recently hosted Bucks County U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick, who observed the weaving of the "House of Cards" carpet. "In the quintessential Bucks County borough of Penndel, Langhorne Carpet has operated its mill for nearly 90 years. We' all so proud of our treasure of a living-history carpet mill appearing on such a grand stage."

Langhorne Carpet Company, founded in 1930, is the longest continuously operated Jacquard Wilton carpet mill in the country. The company's enduring success is attributed to exceptional craftsmanship that produces original designs and reproductions featuring intricate textures and patterns from traditional to contemporary. Langhorne's carpets, woven with the finest wools and alpaca, are lauded by historians for their ability to recreate carpets that are indistinguishable from the originals.
