Curatorial note
This carpet was made for the Breakfast Room in No. 12 Lincoln's Inn Fields, Soane's first house. It was commissioned by the Museum's then Curator Peter Thornton from Elizabeth Eaton Limited (Mrs Ros Hartman), who based the design on the carpet shown in J.M. Gandy's watercolour of the room (1798). The replica was generously sponsored by Mrs Susan Gutfreund of New York
