19th Century Aubuson Vintage Napoleon III Rug, ca 1852-1870

About the Item

Aubusson French manufacturing is famous for producing wall tapestries and the weaving of splendid floor carpets. Both of these textile products, Semper of high quality, were charged to complete the sumptuous furnishings of villas and palaces of the Parisian aristocracy. Come took place for tapestries; even carpet cartons were designed by the best artists of the time, according to the most popular style of the moment. The specimen we propose is typical of the Napoleon III era: the decorative plant is characterized by a large decorated border from the plaster of the Parisian dwellings. The central reason is the triumph of flowers. The main colours, red coral and the parchment beige, are colours that we often find even in the French end nineteenth century's upholstery.

  • 20th Century White and Blue Alice in Wonderland Salvador Dalí Rug, ca 1977
    By Ege Axminster A/S
    Located in Firenze, IT
    Probably there would have been no better artist to illustrate a story as beautiful as surreal, like that of Alice in Wonderland. Let’s talk about Salvador Dali (1904-1989), the Spanish artist who changed the concept of 20th-century art. As an admirer of Freud, Salvador Dali is known for the use of symbolism and recurring objects in all of his works. This carpet, made by the well-known EGE AXMINSTER carpet factory from a 1969 painting, presents Alice jumping rope in a long fluttering dress with her head and hands represented as a bouquet and her symbolic shadow figure next to her. The dark grid lines fixed on an ivory field vanish at an escape point behind the mountains in the distance. Birds, abstract figures and a smaller secondary person dot the background in the distance. Dali’s signature...
