An original antique watercolour design for a carpet.
From Nimes, France.
Created by Plaissier Freres.
Dating from the late 1800s.
Red, purple and mauve flowers on a cream and beige ground. Dark grey surround.
Size of design: 17.5 x 41.5 cms or 6 3/4 x 16 1/2 inches.
Size of surround: 30 x 50.5 cms or 12 x 20 inches.
Condition: Very Good. The design itself is, but for some rubbing and small marks, fresh and clean. There is a darker shadow in the beige surround to the left of the central bouquet. The dark grey surround is marked and damaged most particularly at the top and bottom left hand corners.
