RELIC Of B0URB0NS
RESTORED IN PARIS
Exquisite Rug on Display
After Years Work by
Experts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 3-A lost relic of
Bourbon kings, described as lone of the
most beautiful carpets in the world"
has been found in a church closet, re-
stored and recently hung in st. Eustace,
where Louis XIV used to worship.
Announcement of the finding and
restoration. made recently by Pierre
Darras. director of fine arts of the city
of Paris. is sending ParisianS flocking
into the church to view the relic. which
is woven with the exquisite workman
ship of tapestry.
A franc "A CentS) dropped into a slot
illuminateS for three minutes the mel
low yelloWs and blues Of the piece,
hanging on the right wall of the dim
old church where rest the ashes of some
OF the most famous poets and warriors
of France.
Discovery Kept Secret.
Beneath it hangs a little card in
scribed Carpet called La Savonnerle,'
made at the royal tapestry establish
ment of Chaillot in the reign of Louis
XIV"
The discovery Of the carpet occurred
in St EuStace several years ago end
was kept a secret. says Able Laurens,
cure of the old church, which is re-
garded as the most beautiful in Paris
after Notre Dame.
His predecessor. searching for rolls
OF straw carpet in a forgotten closet in
the SacriSty, found beneath the dusty
pile a soiled bulky roll. When unrolled
it was found to be the carpet, moth
eaten and badly deteriOrated.
A tapestry authority who was sum-
moned declared it to have no equal
except in the palace of FOntainebleau
and estimated the cost of the neceS-
sary repairs at 100000 francs (S4000).
After lengthy negotiations the City OF
Paris authenticated the relic and ap-
The work was undertaken by the lead
ing tapestry makers Of France.
History UnrecOrded.
When or how the carpet was lost, or
by whom it was placed in the church
closet is unknown either to the City
of Paris or to church officials, who have
no record of its history beyond its
weaving.
Since Louis XIV worshiped at St.
EuStace. however the theory is advanced
there that he lent the carpet to the
church and that it remained there un-
til the revolution, when it was pitched
into the closet TO save 1t from deStruc-
tiOn.
When found it was so badly deteri-
grated that it required a day to repair
and clean one square centimeter of its
once luxurious surface. Measuring ap-
proXimately 9X4 , yards. it required
SIX men working daily for year to
complete its rehabilitation.
