Those are really bright colors. I guess it's to wake you up in the morning.

Bob Crowe said...

I do! The color and texture are so rich it takes on three dimensions.

In her bedroom! The colours would keep me awake, I'm sure, but they'd be cheerful in a morning room, with plenty of coffee.
Beautiful photos.

Those are indeed stunning colors. I wonder how old that carpet is. It looks like it could be new.

@ Stuart: manufacture de la Savonnerie, second half of the XVIIIth century (but designed in 1738).

Yes, quite striking. I want to walk there.

Effectivement pas le genre de tapis à placer n'importe où mais ravissant!

Thérèse said...

Pas mal d'inspiration à y piocher en extrayant chaque détail.

Beautiful, deep, rich colors! I'm also fascinated by the turquoise-colored ginger jars on the fireplace mantel.

I'm amazed at how vibrant the colors are. It complements the parquet floors very well.

Jack said...

Wow! That is a fantastic pattern.

Stuart said...

Thanks for the response as to the age of that magnificent carpet. I find it amazing that its colors remain so vivid after all this time (and so many people treading on it).

@ Stuart: I don't know when the last people, with the exception of palace employees, have trod on it! It is out of bounds for visitors.

Everything is amazing in this room!

Great color! A bit gaudier than most folks would have today, but I suppose excess was in style back then.

Beautiful sights. Bedroom Princess Victoria is lovely. We slept there for about nicely.
