The Strong Family by Charles Philips, 1732 (Courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, gift of Robert Lehman, ig-f^.) Figure 4.—A very large carpet, thickly fringed at either end, adds to the atmosphere of comfort and sociability that surrounds this English family, captured by the artist in the midst of their card games and tea preparations. although they may have been used to cover furniture rather than the floor at that early date. The Turkey carpets described as "large"' in the previously cited inventories presumably had similar dimensions, that is, under 12 feet. The pictures of the period provide further proof that the proportions of Oriental carpets were ample. "Large" or "\ery large" carpets of the size and type seen in the Lee portrait appear in a number of the English group or conversation-piece pictures of the period (see the Chronological List of Pictures, p. 61). These paintings also give us a good idea of the cus- tomary use and placement of Turkey as well as other kinds of carpets in domestic settings. The carpet is usually shown in the center of the room surrounded by a border of polished wood flooring. The furniture is set against tlie walls and only the pieces in use, such as chairs and a tea or card table, are placed on the carpet, usually well toward if not actually at its center or in line with the fireplace.
