Antique English Axminster Rug, circa 1900 - This classically elegant antique Axminster is the English counterpart to the Aubusson and Savonnerie carpets produced in nineteenth-century France. It shares the same taste for delicate architectural scrolling cartouches filled with graceful naturalistic sprays of carnations and garlands of pansies, all against soft ground tones of pale apricot, ivory, and mauve. The entire effect is enhanced by the lustrous, velvety pile.
Style: Axminster
