The International Exhibition: carpet by Watson and Bontor, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: carpet by Watson and Bontor, 1862. The ground is maroon, and the ornament is in two reds, with the exception of the little circular masses, which are in dark green, margined with strong yellow. In many respects this filling is what a carpet should be: it is rich and full in colour, yet low in tone and unobtrusive, is founded upon a geometric basis, which is very desirable, and accents the regularity of the pattern by prominent spots; these, together with its simplicity, are qualities to be highly commended in an article which is only to form a pleasing background to the furniture and occupants of a room; and we think that Messrs. Watson, Bontor, and Co. would do well to weave this field pattern as a Brussels carpet, especially if the orange outline of the flowers he slightly lowered in tone'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
