The International Exhibition: carpet by Watson and Bontor, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: carpet by Watson and Bontor, 1862. The ground is maroon, and the ornament is in two reds, with the exception of the little circular masses, which are in dark green, margined with strong yellow. In many respects this filling is what a carpet should be: it is rich and full in colour, yet low in tone and unobtrusive, is founded upon a geometric basis, which is very desirable, and accents the regularity of the pattern by prominent spots; these, together with its simplicity, are qualities to be highly commended in an article which is only to form a pleasing background to the furniture and occupants of a room; and we think that Messrs. Watson, Bontor, and Co. would do well to weave this field pattern as a Brussels carpet, especially if the orange outline of the flowers he slightly lowered in tone'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "International Exhibition: carpet by Watson and Bontor," a stunning piece showcased at the Great London Exposition of 1862. The carpet, with its maroon ground and intricate ornamentation, is a masterpiece of 19th-century textile design. The ornamental pattern is primarily composed of two shades of red, with accents of dark green, yellow, and orange. The design is rich in color yet maintains a low tone, making it an excellent background for furniture and room occupants. Its geometric foundation and prominent spots accentuate the regularity of the pattern, desirable qualities for a decorative carpet. The Illustrated London News praised the simplicity and symmetry of this design, suggesting that Messrs. Watson, Bontor, and Co. consider weaving this field pattern as a Brussels carpet. This print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1862, is a testament to the artistic and industrial achievements of the time. The carpet's intricate design, showcased at the International Exhibition, reflects the cultural significance of textiles and the textile industry during the nineteenth century. The print, with its engraved detail, offers a glimpse into the world of decorative arts and the role of trade fairs and exhibitions in promoting innovation and creativity.
