Carpet

1668-1685
Made by the Savonnerie carpet manufactory, Paris (1627–1825) After a model made by Charles Le Brun (French (active Paris), 1619–1690) , or Louis Le Vau (French, 1612–1670)
This carpet is from a set of ninety-three rugs made for the Grande Galerie of the Louvre. In the center are four of King Louis XIV's double L monograms intertwined beneath crowns; at each end, flanked by eagles, appears a crowned globe with the royal motto "Nec Pluribus Impar" (Unequalled Among Many).
