Mid 19th Century English Axminster Carpet
Although Axminster was justly famed for its large carpets, it also provided smaller pieces, for example this example in red with an allover leafy spread pattern within en suite borders/ Victorian taste is just beginning to creep in and the stark Neo-classical Regency clarity is starting to recede.
