It was commissioned for the restoration project, made by Axeminster Carpets in Devon, and is super hardwearing to cope with massively increased footfall through the house. It feature the Stewart dragon, which is also in the family crest and at the heart of the family moto 'Metuenda carolla dragonis' (Beware the crest of the dragon!). We can't all be fans of it..but there's some explanation of why its there!Emily Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535443539874657635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-35159710617689551222016-04-14T12:00:23.892+10:002016-04-14T12:00:23.892+10:00I love the old ornate furniture, the use of colors...I love the old ornate furniture, the use of colors and design in that staircase as well as that long hallway.
