This carpet, representing Music, belongs to a series of 93 originally intended for (but never used in) the Grande Galerie of the Louvre (then a palace). Instead, individual examples from the series were distributed as diplomatic gifts. Louis XIV sent a version of this design to the Siamese king in 1685.
