An original watercolour design for a carpet.
Created in Nimes, France in the late 1800s.
The manufacturers name is stamped at the center of the top edge; but I am unable to make it out.
Baskets of flowers, ribbons, birds, garlands of leaves and decorative flourishes on a pinkish grey ground. The design is attached to a white ground using tape such that it could be quite easily removed. There is a pencilled annotation to the bottom right of the piece; also some faint pencilled grid lines across the surface .
Size of design: 35 x 27 cms or 13 3/4 x 10,3/4 inches.
Size of surround: 50 x 39.5 cms or 19 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches.
Condition: Near Fine. The design is fresh and clean. The tip of the top right hand corner hs been turned.
