Antique English Axminster Rug, late nineteenth century - With its rich array of naturalistic floral forms unfolding dynamically across the surface, this lovely little antique Axminster rug is a response to the style and coloration of a French Savonnerie carpets. But the use of these elements as a free form, asymmetrical excerpt enclosed by a deep tan border-like outer zone is highly unusual and reflects the taste of the English Arts and Crafts Movement.
