專家說明
Jean Sallandrouze de la Mornaix (1762-1826) established one of the most important manufactories of Aubusson carpets in the late 18th century. Sallandrouze was greatly in demand throughout the Empire period and was the supplier of choice for Napoleon's Imperial palaces and the French nobility. His son, Jean-Charles Sallandrouze de la Mornaix (1808-1867), continued to run his father's successful enterprise throughout the second Empire.
The coat of arms in the centre of the carpet belong to the d'Urre family, one branch of which were Barons de la Capelle, Seigneurs de Montauriol and were known as Marquises d'Urre. It seems likely that the carpet was commissioned by either Francois-Maurice d'Urre, Marquis d'Aubais-les-Conques or his son mile d'Urre who had recently married. Émile d'Urre's son, Maurice, Marquis d'Urre d'Aubais, became a Muslim and adopted the name Ahmed Nedjib Effendi and died without issue in 1927.
