Whether these early English carpets were made in the factory or at home, whether they were "turkey work" or embroidery, it was their color and design that made them so distinctive and have given so much to the present-day designer.
The English garden is an informal riot of gaily colored flowers. The French garden is balance and formal and grand.
The Persian garden is meticulously planned and manicured. Just so the English floral carpets differ from those of France and Persia.
Flowers appear in gorgeous profusion—as many as a dozen kinds in one rug. Roses, pinks, columbine, lilies, pansies, tulips, daisies, oppies, cornflowers and narcissus run riot over the field, to say nothing of vines, birds, butterflies and even bugs.
