The studio-office at L\u2019Ermitage de Pompadour is the Fontainebleau home of collector Charles de Noailles, French author and patron of the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The office was decorated by Georges Geffroy (1903\/05\u20131971), who is aptly described by Mitch Owens as \u201cthe most glamorous interior designer you\u2019ve never heard of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owens writes in an article in Arch Digest, \u201cIn his youth, the Paris-born Geffroy had worked in fashion, turning out hats for Paul Poiret and Redfern and designing clothes at Jean Patou. By the 1930s, though, he had begun decorating, turning out everything from suave fashion-house salons for Jean Piguet and Marcel Rochas to striking theater sets, such as a celebrated production of Sheridan\u2019s School for Scandal,<\/em> to glamorous, history-inflected rooms for celebrated socialites.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pictured studio gives us historical reference for the design and its uses as we present to you a matching mid 19th Century Aubusson carpet from our inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stock ID 19734<\/a>
French Aubusson
10\u20190\u2033 x 16\u20190\u2033
circa 1840<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extremely fine woven mid-19th century French Aubusson rug was designed by Sallandrouze, who were amongst the wealthiest and most illustrious families in the carpet, rug and tapestry industry in Aubusson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piece is rich with silk and gilt-metal thread. An irregular lattice delineates lozenge shaped spaces and is centered on a particularly large and elaborate sub sectioned ivory motif. Each tall panel is filled with arabesques organized in a cruciform pattern. The narrow, off-white check-mark border discreetly frames the whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
