Large 19th century Axminster Rug, circa 1820. This large hand-knotted rug is in excellent quality, with a beautiful design and marvellous opulent colors. Axminster rugs were produced in this handmade quality from 1755-1835 by Axminster Ltd. in Devon, England. While the company still exists today, the production of the handmade factories shut down due to a massive fire in 1835, forcing the company into bankruptcy. But the legacy lives on through these pieces, made for aristocrats and royalty of not just England, but of leaders of states worldwide. Size: 16’8 x 31′.
