This anonymous design for a carpet from c. 1854-1864 showcases intricate floral and geometric motifs. The central field is a deep crimson, providing a vibrant backdrop for the elaborate border, which features a complex arrangement of scrolling foliage and stylized blossoms in a palette of rich golds, greens, and blues. The design reflects a strong influence of Middle Eastern and Asian carpet traditions, demonstrating the popularity of these aesthetic elements in 19th-century European design.
