About the Item
Dramatic 19th Century French Aubusson Carpet with Baroque Revival Design
Size: 18'0" × 18'7" (548 × 566 cm)
This striking French Aubusson carpet, woven circa 1860, is a tour de force of the Baroque Revival style, showcasing the grandeur and intricate artistry that defined the decorative sensibilities of Second Empire France. Likely crafted for a prestigious interior, this large-scale piece exudes theatrical elegance through its bold palette, commanding symmetry, and lavish ornamentation.
The composition is centered around a dramatic medallion formed by interlocking scrolls and floral cartouches, radiating outward in layers of baroque flourish. Flourishing acanthus leaves, leafy vines, stylized palmettes, and volutes unfurl across a saturated navy blue field, which serves as a rich foil for the vivid reds, golden saffron, coral, ivory, and sage green tones. The symmetry is precise yet organic, imbuing the design with a sense of movement and regality.
Each corner is anchored by grand ivory and coral cartouches adorned with rosettes and plumes, adding weight and opulence to the overall layout. A deep border filled with scrolling botanical motifs, inspired by French classicism and Renaissance tapestries, frames the central field like a theatrical proscenium.
Woven in wool using the traditional Aubusson flat-weave technique, the rug remains remarkably vibrant and well-preserved for its age. Its substantial scale (approximately 19' x 18') and ornamental richness make it a fitting focal point for a formal salon, château interior, or any space that seeks to channel old-world splendor.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
