The late 18th century was an age of revolution in art and design, and carpets were no exception. Turning away from the ornate formality of the Baroque and Rococo, weavers across Europe’s capitals embraced the lightness, elegant simplicity and informality of early neoclassicism, drawing on the forms and motifs of the ancient world newly unearthed in Rome, Naples and Athens. Our 18th Century European Collection brings together the finest Italian, French, English, Russian and Scottish rugs, from Bessarabians to Axminsters, each one a piece of a revolutionary moment in textile history.
