About the Item

Early 19th Century French Empire Period Aubusson Carpet (7'4" x 8'6"-225 x 260) Antique French Floral Medallion Flat Weave Rug, Country of Origin: France, Circa Date: 1825. This exquisite example of early 19th-century textile art originates from France, likely produced in the workshops of Aubusson or Felletin. The restrained design and sophisticated color palette reflect the Neoclassical taste prevalent during the Restoration period. The defining characteristic of this piece is the striking central medallion, rendered in soft hues of rose, cream, and pale yellow. This bouquet is set against a deep, verdant field, allowing the intricate design to command attention. The overall composition relies on classic European floral motifs, executed with the delicate shading typical of the period's tapestry influence. Unlike the high-pile Savonnerie carpets, this flat weave construction offers a smooth, tapestry-like surface, emphasizing the graphic clarity of the design. Such pieces were highly sought after for grand interiors, bridging the gap between floor covering and fine art. It remains a superb example of antique rugs prized for their historical provenance and enduring elegance. The scale of this textile suggests it was intended for a primary reception space or salon. Its generous dimensions classify it as a true room size rug, capable of anchoring a significant interior design scheme. The timeless combination of deep green and muted pastels ensures that this rare 1825 French textile retains its relevance in contemporary settings.
