The History of the Jacquard Loom<\/h2>\n

Until the early 1800s, looms like those in our weaving mill were operated entirely by hand. Standing next to the weaver, an assistant pulled some grips on the side of the loom to lift the heddles and make the warp threads pass through them. These assistants were usually girls, often the weavers<\/a>\u2019 daughters, who could learn their mothers\u2019 job by observing them all day long.\u00a0This production process was slow and complex<\/strong>, and an experienced weaver could produce only 4 inches of fabric per day.<\/p>\n

In France, where there was greater openness to technological innovations, the domestic textile industry experienced significant progress. In 1806, Lyon-born Joseph Marie Jacquard<\/strong> (1752-1834) patented a machine that could be applied to traditional wooden looms to simplify and speed up the production<\/strong> of woven fabrics and velvets with complex designs.<\/p>\n

This innovative machine sparked a revolution in the textile industry. Textile workers, fearful of losing their jobs, started riots throughout Europe. Nevertheless, the Jacquard loom quickly became popular, even in Venice.<\/p>\n

How the Jacquard Loom Works<\/h2>\n

Known as the forefather of computers<\/strong> because it can read information from a punched card, this single device combined three projects from the previous century:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The use of needles and a perforated paper tape containing the pattern, which Basile Bouchon tested in 1725.<\/li>\n
  2. The replacement of the paper tape with punched cards attached to one another, which Jean-Baptiste Falcon proposed in 1734.<\/li>\n
  3. The use of a mechanical cylinder above the loom, designed by Jacques Vaucanson in 1744, to automatically replace punched cards while weaving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When integrated into a traditional loom<\/strong>, the Jacquard machine simplified and sped up the production of even the most complex patterns, eliminating the need for weavers to have assistants, as they could operate it independently. Through a system of strings, it allows the heddles to be raised automatically according to the holes on the cards that reproduce the design in a simplified yet perfect way. This invention was a true revolution, as it was the first machine that could automatically repeat a series of actions.<\/p>\n

    Without this invention, our production of handmade velvets<\/a> would be much slower. Jacquard fabrics<\/strong>, in fact, are characterized by their extremely elaborate and colorful patterns<\/strong> that are woven directly into the fabric and therefore not printed or embroidered. Our historical archives contain more than 3,500 ornamental patterns that we can reproduce with our looms.<\/p>\n

    Jacquard Looms for Bevilacqua’s Fabrics<\/h2>\n

    The 18 antique looms in our weaving room are all equipped with these machines ever since the Tessitura was founded in 1875.<\/p>\n

    These looms allow us to produce about 14\u201316 inches of velvet per<\/strong> day using the same methods as back then. The work is still entirely handmade, as these looms are operated by our weavers, who must also cut the velvet by hand.<\/p>\n

    We take care of them by still using punched cards made of cardboard and by replacing their damaged parts with those we collect from our other machines.<\/p>\n

    The Jacquard loom<\/strong> was the forerunner of modern industrial textile looms. However, we still use original antique looms<\/a>, part of our history, to produce unique and exclusive velvets<\/strong> and Jacquard furnishing fabrics<\/a> worthy of the Venetian tradition.<\/p>\n

    La storia del telaio Jacquard<\/h2>
    Fino agli inizi dell\u2019800, telai come quelli della nostra tessitura erano azionati totalmente a mano. Accanto alla tessitrice, un aiutante tirava alcune manopole per sollevare i licci con i fili dell\u2019ordito e farvi passare attraverso quelli della trama. Di solito gli aiutanti erano bambine, spesso le figlie delle\u00a0tessitrici<\/a>, che cos\u00ec potevano imparare il mestiere della madre, osservandola tutto il giorno. Questa produzione era un lavoro lento e complesso, ed una tessitrice esperta poteva realizzare appena 10 cm di tessuto al giorno.<\/p>
    In Francia, dove vi era una maggiore apertura verso le innovazioni tecnologiche, l\u2019industria tessile nazionale fece molti progressi. Nel 1806, il lionese Joseph Marie Jacquard (1752-1834) brevett\u00f2 una macchina che, applicata ai tradizionali telai in legno, era in grado di semplificare e rendere molto pi\u00f9 rapida la produzione di tessuti operati e velluti con disegni complessi.<\/p>
    Questa macchina innovativa provoc\u00f2 una vera e propria rivoluzione nel settore e gli operai tessili, temendo di perdere posti di lavoro a causa sua, scatenarono rivolte in tutta Europa. Ma, nonostante ci\u00f2, il telaio Jacquard ebbe presto una larga diffusione, arrivando anche a Venezia.<\/p>

    Caratteristiche del telaio e del tessuto Jacquard<\/h2>
    Considerata un\u2019antenata dei computer, perch\u00e9 in grado di leggere le informazioni di una scheda forata, questa macchina riuniva in s\u00e9 3 progetti del secolo precedente:<\/p>
    1. l\u2019uso di una carta continua forata contenente il disegno, che Basile Bouchon test\u00f2 nel 1725;<\/li>
    2. la sostituzione della carta continua con cartoni legati tra loro, proposta da Jean Baptiste Falcon nel 1734;<\/li>
    3. la collocazione di un cilindro meccanico sopra il telaio, che Jacques Vaucanson aveva pensato nel 1744 per automatizzare la sostituzione dei cartoni durante il lavoro.<\/li><\/ol>
      Integrata in un telaio tradizionale,\u00a0 semplific\u00f2 e velocizz\u00f2 la produzione di disegni anche molto complessi eliminando la necessit\u00e0 di avere degli aiutanti per le tessitrici che potevano cos\u00ec operarla in autonomia. Infatti, attraverso un sistema di cordicelle, permette ai licci di venire sollevati automaticamente, in base ai fori presenti sulle schede che riproducono in maniera semplificata ma perfetta il disegno da realizzare. Fu una vera rivoluzione, diventando la prima macchina in grado di svolgere un lavoro ripetitivo in modo automatico.<\/p>
      Senza questa invenzione, anche la nostra produzione di velluti a mano<\/a> sarebbe molto pi\u00f9 lenta. I tessuti Jacquard, infatti, si distinguono per i loro disegni estremamente elaborati e ricchi di colori, realizzati direttamente nella stoffa e quindi non stampati o ricamati. Nel nostro archivio storico conserviamo pi\u00f9 di 3.500 motivi ornamentali che possiamo realizzare con i nostri telai.<\/p>

      Come nasce il velluto jacquard alla Bevilacqua<\/h2>
      I 18 telai antichi della nostra sala di tessitura sono tutti dotati di queste macchine fin da quando la Tessitura \u00e8 nata, nel 1875.<\/p>
      Sono loro che ci permettono di produrre circa 35-40 cm di velluto al giorno, con gli stessi metodi di allora. Il lavoro resta comunque manuale, perch\u00e9 sono le tessitrici ad azionarle e a tagliare il velluto.<\/p>
      Ce ne prendiamo cura usando ancora schede forate di cartone e sostituendo i pezzi danneggiati con quelli che recuperiamo dalle altre macchine.<\/p>
      Il telaio Jacquard \u00e8 stato il capostipite dei moderni telai tessili industriali, ma noi ancora oggi ne utilizziamo di antichi originali, parte della nostra storia, per produrre velluti unici ed esclusivi, tessuti jacquard per arredamento<\/a> degni della tradizione.<\/p>
