About the Item
This 7x9 antique Aubusson rug is an exciting new addition to Rug
Kilim’s European rug collection—a masterpiece of the French flatweave style, handwoven in wool and originating from France circa 1850-1860. This piece elegantly captures the sophisticated, nature-inspired sensibility of the Rococo style typical of the Empire Period.
On the Design:
This rug is a magnificent relic of French court luxury, a woven masterpiece that captures the light, feminine opulence and nature-inspired symmetry of the Rococo style, which flourished during the Empire Period of Aubusson weaving.
Admirers of the craft will appreciate this piece as an exceptional example from France’s veritable tapestry-weaving capital, representing a particularly refined approach to the classic Aubusson sensibility. The structure commands attention: a soft central medallion, blooming with blush-pink and ivory florals, is gracefully set upon a field of rich terracotta and rose-taupe. The field itself is scattered with repeating floral cartouches.
The design is framed by elaborate floral garlands and sprays in soft mint green, ivory, and gold—a defining characteristic of Rococo works. This commitment to detail, combined with the elegant symmetry, makes it a rare and treasured collectible for designers and connoisseurs alike. Altogether, its refined scale and elegant subtext make it a piece as deeply personal in its artistry as it is significant in history—a true collector’s rug, teeming with culture and the romance of French design.
