The International Exhibition: patent carpet by Jackson and Graham, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: patent carpet by Jackson and Graham, 1862. It is in style purely French, and is of the best period of the style; and to those who are partial to bright and cheerful carpets it will be peculiarly welcome, for there is a simplicity and purity about it which we but rarely see in works of such an elaborate character. The general field of the carpet is maroon, diapered with a neat crimson star; the grounds of the border and of the central passages are white, and of the broad band surrounding the centre ellipse, lilac; and the border is separated from the field by a broad ornamental golden-yellow line, and a narrow line of green, which falls on the maroon-field; the flowers are naturally treated, and the Italian scrollwork of the border is in rich and harmonious colouring, and it, like the laurel-border which is external to it, is well composed. As a whole, the carpet is agreeably massed out, and is a noble illustration of its style'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph showcases the International Exhibition's Patent Carpet by Jackson and Graham, exhibited in 1862. The creator of the image is unknown, but the description in the Illustrated London News provides valuable insight into the carpet's unique features. The carpet, with its purely French style, boasts a maroon field adorned with a neat crimson star diaper. The borders and central passages are contrasted with white grounds, while the broad band surrounding the center ellipse is a soothing lilac hue. The border is defined by a bold golden-yellow line and a narrow green line, which adds depth and dimension to the maroon field. The flowers depicted on the carpet are naturally treated, adding a touch of organic elegance to the design. The Italian scrollwork of the border is richly colored and harmoniously composed, creating a sense of balance and symmetry. The carpet's central ellipse is surrounded by a laurel border, adding an external layer of intricate detail. The carpet's overall composition is agreeable and well-massed, making it a noble illustration of its style. The use of bright and cheerful colors, combined with the simplicity and purity of the design, makes this carpet a standout piece from the exhibition. The Patent Carpet by Jackson and Graham is a testament to the artistic innovation and craftsmanship of the time, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of textile design during the mid-19th century.
