About the Item

Antique French Aubusson Carpet - Louis Philippe - Period: 5'3"x 5'4" - 160 x 162 cm This antique French Aubusson carpet from the 1830s is a luxurious, handwoven flatweave prized for its formal European elegance and refined decorative language. Woven with a tapestry technique (making it pileless), it was designed to emulate the more expensive Savonnerie carpets and complement the neoclassical architectural interiors of French aristocracy during the Charles X and Louis Philippe periods. The rug exhibits a strong, symmetrical design language. The central element is typically a balanced floral medallion or roundel surrounded by a large-scale, open field. The field is often filled with elaborate floral sprays, acanthus leaves, and ribbon-and-wreath motifs, all rendered with crisp, illustrative clarity. The color palette is a hallmark of the style, often featuring soft, harmonious, and architectural tones. Common colors include shades of brown (from light tan to a rich mahogany), terracotta red, powder pink, cream, and accents of pale green, light blue, and ivory. The deliberate shading of the wool creates a desirable, subtle three-dimensional appearance that prevents the flat weave from appearing static. A wide, prominent border with scrolling foliage, often in contrasting colors like the rust-orange inner stripe visible here, frames the composition beautifully. Woven in the renowned workshops of Aubusson, France, the rug is a testament to traditional textile craftsmanship. It is handwoven from high-quality wool on a sturdy linen or cotton foundation, known for its durability and luxurious texture. The flat, smooth profile sits gracefully in formal settings and highlights the intricate detail and controlled decorative shading. These qualities ensure the rug remains a significant decorative and historical piece, well-suited for classic or refined contemporary interiors
