About the Item

21' x 32'. This ivory ground and delicate floral ornaments of this Second Empire carpet make it seem even bigger than its already ample scale. Huge whirlpool spirals fill he corners and flow into long leafy vines with attached floral sprays. The centre is a layered nearly circular medallion within an oval shape composed of more leafy vines. The narrow border is broken at the corners and along the sides by acanthus elements. The carpet is light and expansive and it belongs in a sunny space with French doors opening to a wide porch overlooking a formal garden.
