专家说明

A carpet of the same design but with an ivory and pale lemon yellow field was woven for the State Bedroom at Blickling Hall, Norfolk in 1765-70 (Sarah B. Sherrill, Carpets and Rugs of Europe and America, New York, 1995, p.197). The note accompanying the illustration of the Blickling Hall Axminster in Sarah B. Sherill's book makes reference to the present carpet.
