$45,500.00

An early 19th-century English Armorial Axminster carpet from around 1820, measuring approximately 426.8 × 487.7 cm (about 14'0" × 16'0"). Per the original ARS catalog notes, this is a particularly colourful late-Regency-period Axminster carpet, with an astonishing double floral and ribbon-garland border on ivory; the small salmon-orange field is anchored by jewel-like corner escutcheons and is asymmetrically filled with swirling acanthus arabesques. Axminster is the historic English carpet town in Devon, founded by Thomas Whitty in 1755. Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique English carpet from the Regency period.
