RENTERING, in tapestry, is the working new warp into a piece of damaged tapestry, whether eaten by the rats or otherwise destroyed, and on this warp to restore the ancient pattern or design. The warp is to be of woolen, not linen. Among the titles of the French tapestry-makers is included that of renters. Fine-drawing is particularly used for a rent or hole, which happens in dressing or preparing a piece of cloth artfully sewed up or mended with silk. All fine-drawings are reckoned defects or blemishes; and should be allowed for in the price of the piece.
