Apollo and the bees: this is the carpet of the malachite room at Grand Trianon. Bees have always been a symbol of monarchy and in this case, of Napoléon's empire.

Looks pretty.
Old and very strong colors.
I like it.
What a floor! Love that bright design. Inspires me to keep looking down:)
Like Muhammad Ali said, float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
But for the pink cushions, this has a spooky resemblance to a Buddhist monastery.
I do LOVE the bee symbol!
That is an amazing tapestry.
Wow that is so beautiful. Why it's the 'bee's knee's'. MB
So intricate, and such deep rich colours. I imagine it's very plush to walk on!
