    Description
    This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

    A very large choir carpet with a polychrome design imitating stained glass, featuring a grid pattern in which each square is filled with a four-leaf motif and bears, at its center, the coat of arms of the Carthusian Order, consisting of a globe surmounted by a cross (a cross-topped orb) and surrounded by seven stars arranged in a semicircle, along with the motto “stat crox dum volvitur orbis,” which translates to “the world passes, the cross remains.” The choir rug is made up of embroidered squares assembled and sewn together. These panels are cross-stitch embroidery on cotton canvas. Each square measures approximately 40 cm on each side, and the carpet is composed of approximately 216 pieces. The carpet dates from the 1860s and was designated a historic monument on October 27, 1995.

    A beautiful piece that can complement church furnishings, serve as a very large wall tapestry, or adorn a very large entrance hall in the Anglo-Norman style, such as that of Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey).

    The rug is in fair condition: the colors are vivid and well-defined. The structure is still in fairly good condition. However, some of the seams joining the embroidered squares have come undone, and in the center section, the edges of the rug show tears in the canvas. There is also some moth damage, a few gaps on three of the sides, and a snag on the left side. However, given its size and the vibrancy of its colors, it still looks quite good.

    The rug can be viewed by appointment in Grenoble and requires a carrier to transport it (very large).
