About the Item

Late 19th Century French Aubusson Carpet ( 11'8" x 14'3" - 355 x 434 cm ) This exceptional piece is a hallmark of the French weaving tradition, representing the pinnacle of decorative Aubusson rugs produced during the late 19th century. Its sophisticated design is rooted in the neoclassical style, adapted for the grand salons and refined interiors of the period. The central field is dominated by a luminous, near-monochromatic palette, placing it among the most desirable ivory color rugs. This light ground allows the delicate ornamentation to breathe, featuring an elegant trellis of ribbons and swags. The subtle use of color highlights exquisite floral motifs, including roses and peonies clustered within the central oval cartouche and corner baskets. Woven with the characteristic flat-weave technique favored by the French royal workshops, the texture is refined and sophisticated. The balanced composition, featuring a restrained central medallion and open field, ensures that the rug integrates seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary interiors. Its generous dimensions make it an ideal choice among room size rugs for a formal dining area or drawing room. This Aubusson carpet is a superb example of the enduring quality and artistic merit found in genuine antique rugs. Dating specifically to the 1880s, it carries the patina and grace only achieved through over a century of careful preservation, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a textile masterpiece of French heritage.
