EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken circa 1920, a carpet vendor proudly holds up a stunning Persian carpet against the elegant facade of the Bristol Hotel in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, France. Located on the picturesque Côte d'Azur, Beaulieu was a popular destination for the wealthy and famous during the 1920s, attracting tourists from around the world. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the Persian carpet stand out against the white stucco walls of the hotel, creating a striking contrast. The vendor, dressed in traditional Arab attire, exudes a sense of pride and confidence as he showcases his wares to potential buyers. The hotel's grand architecture, with its ornate balconies and tall columns, serves as a backdrop to this scene of traditional trade on the bustling streets of Beaulieu. The 1920s were a time of prosperity and glamour on the French Riviera, and the streets were filled with vendors selling everything from fresh produce to handmade crafts. Carpets were a particularly popular item, and vendors like this one would travel from the Middle East to sell their wares to wealthy tourists. The Persian carpets were highly prized for their intricate designs and rich colors, making them a must-have item for any luxurious home. This photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the golden age of the Côte d'Azur and the vibrant street life of Beaulieu-sur-Mer. It is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that took place during this period, as well as the enduring appeal of traditional crafts and the allure of exotic locales.
