Carpet Merchant Framed Canvas Replica Painting: Large

By artist Jean-Leon Gerome (1824-1904), in a Private Collection

The Cairo rug market comes to life in this sumptuous scene that almost echoes with the excitedly bartering voices, vibrantly hand-dyed hues and fabled Egyptian mysteries of the age-old trade. One of France's most highly-regarded and decorated artists during his lifetime, Gerome was a member of the Institut de France, a knight in the Legion d'honneur, a member of the British Royal Academy and a recipient of the Grand Order of the Red Eagle. Our authentic stretched canvas replica captures the original painting's texture, depth of color, and even its brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. It is surrounded by our imported, antique gold-toned, delicately sculpted 4" wide designer resin frame with a leaf motif. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
