介绍（中）	在16世纪末，除了最富有的人之外，纺织品很少被用作地板覆盖物，但绒面编织、挂毯编织或刺绣的"地毯"经常被用来装饰桌子。这张大餐桌地毯的碎片展示了16世纪英国其他装饰艺术（如木雕和石膏装饰）的典型系带图案，成熟的水果、花朵和蔬菜是这一时期刺绣品上经常出现的品种。其中包括都铎玫瑰、石榴、梨、南瓜、金银花和葡萄盔甲的绘制有些尴尬，这表明这不是专业车间的产品。餐桌地毯可能是业余或半专业生产的，可能是由仆人和大家庭成员制作的，供他们自己家使用。然而，这个项目是一项不小的任务；完工后，地毯的长度可能高达十二到十五英尺。
介绍（英）	Textiles were rarely used as floor coverings in the late sixteenth century, except by the wealthiest individuals, but "carpets" of pile weaves, tapestry weaves, or embroidery were often used to decorate tables. This fragment of a large table carpet displays strapwork motifs typical of other English sixteenth-century decorative arts such as wood carving and plaster decoration, and the ripe fruits, flowers, and vegetables are varieties that often appear on embroidered objects of the period. These include Tudor roses, pomegranates, pears, squash, honeysuckle, and grapes. The somewhat awkward drawing of the armorials suggests that this was not the product of a professional workshop. The table carpet may have been an amateur or semi-professional production, perhaps made by servants and extended family members for use in their own home. However, this project was no small undertaking; when complete, the carpet might have measured as much as twelve to fifteen feet in length.
