National Trust has worked with Axminster Carpets, whose founder, Thomas Whitty, wove the original carpet in the 18th century, to reweave two partial copies that can be laid over the original. Allowing visitors to appreciate the lavish room while protecting the precious carpet.

Congratulations to our Design Director Gary Bridge. 30 years at Axminster Carpets today! When Gary started designing carpets all designs were done by hand using tracing paper, a pencil, charcoal & paint. If you would like to create a carpet masterpiece then Gary is your man.

Our team are experienced in supporting restoration projects. We proudly supplied the carpet for the Trafalgar Theatre. The restoration of this spectacular Grade II listed theatre takes it back to its original 1930s heritage. custom@axminster-carpets.co.uk Photography: Tom Lee
