Established in 1904 by Ivo de Vesci, the 5th Viscount, the story of a small carpet factory in the midlands which would supply carpets both to the S.S. Olympic and the S.S Titanic is explored in detail in Mairead Johnstons 'Hidden in the Pile'Books. You can see actual carpets produced for the Church of The Most Holy Rosary in Abbeyleix and for the Mansion House in our Carpet Factory display.
