About the Item
This 15x17 antique Aubusson rug is an exciting new addition to Rug
Kilim’s European rug collection—a masterpiece of the French Neoclassical flatweave style, handwoven in wool and believed to originate from France circa 1910-1920.
On the Design:
This rug is a magnificent relic of French court luxury, a woven masterpiece that captures the opulence and symmetry of 18th-century design through an early 20th-century lens. Admirers of the craft may appreciate this transitional rug among the works of a special workshop, representing one of the finest large-scale reimaginings of the Aubusson design sensibility.
The structure commands attention: a bold central medallion is ensconced by lush floral cartouches and sweeping scrollwork, a testament to the masterful execution of symmetry, scale, and dynamic movement inherent to the French tapestry weave style. The palette is a decadent symphony of deep and vibrant tones: the field is dominated by a rich terra-cotta and rose-taupe, which dramatically contrasts with the bold, inky black corner spandrels. The central medallion, a focal point of exceptional beauty, blooms with soft blush-pink, mint green, and sky blue accents, while the surrounding floral patterns flourish in shades of gold, coral, and deep crimson. Altogether, its vast, nearly square size and dramatic subtext make it a piece as deeply personal in its artistry as it is significant in history—both a rare masterpiece and a true collector’s rug, teeming with culture and the romance of French design.
