About the Item
76845 late 19th century antique French Aubusson rug with Romantic Rococo Style. With bountiful Aubusson roses and French Provincial style, this Late 19th Century Antique French Aubusson palace rug was spared no expense. A decorative centre medallion of roses is rendered in rich and refined variegated shades of pink and blush to the luscious olive green foliage. Regal, refined and opulent, French Provincial style is always trending. Whether cozy casual of French country or the lavish Rococo, this antique Aubusson rug will create an ambiance of romantic luxury. Antique Aubusson carpets rugs characterize the formal grace and elegance of classical European and French design. These European rugs were made for the royal palaces, gifts and other important commissions. European, Aubusson carpets and French Savonnerie rugs are typically decorated with swags, florals and vines in baskets, garlands in soft pastel colors, on a dominant ivory field. This Late 19th Century Aubusson rug is characterized by designs customary for Aubusson arrangements, illustrating this style of predominate French influence with patterns of ornate armorial medallions, held in intricate borders of rinceaux and winding arrangements of garnished foliage. The symmetrical placements of opulent frondescence, with ribbon and ornamentation to further compliment them in decadence, held antiquated sway in these forms of display and were used commonly during a period when Rococo infiltrated and commanded the French luxury arts of the time. Such works of this late Baroque era would lend rich, florid and an increasingly graceful appearance to interior design, as can be noted in the piece featured here. These colors join to create a truly compelling dance, and inaudibly speak with a timeless voice that is characterized by sensual decadence, as well as by stately action. All facets of this piece collectively entwine to form the striking and grand charm of a textile that is worthy to depict the tender, emotive, and vibrant details of humans and histories, no longer known. Well-suited for opulent period interior styles: French, Victorian, Rococo, Renaissance, Neoclassical, French Provincial, Gustavian, Swedish Farmhouse, Rustic Feminine, French Cottage, or European Country.

Late 19th Century Antique French Aubusson Rug, Hotel Lobby Size Carpet
By Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise, Eugène-Pierre Gourdet
Located in Dallas, TX
74394 Late 19th Century Antique Aubusson Rug, 14'06 x 25'03. A French Aubusson rug refers to a type of flat-weave rug that originated in the town of Aubusson, located in the Creuse region of central France. These rugs have a long history dating back to the 15th century, and they are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, intricate designs, and fine materials.
Exuding an aura of true decadence, this Late 19th Century antique French Aubusson rug emerges as a mesmerizing testament to handwoven beauty. Its intricate details and luxurious texture captivate the senses, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of Aubusson craftsmanship.
At its heart lies an elaborate design reminiscent of a palatial facade. A central acanthus leaf oval ceiling medallion, outlined by complementary scrollwork, evokes romantic connotations, while an array of quincunx motifs, reminiscent of the ceiling designs by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise and Eugene-Pierre Gourdet, adorn the field in an alluring pattern.
Trompe l'oeil filigree adorns a delicate light pink oval band encircling the inner composition, where a rose festoon intertwines with a floral swag, adding a touch of delicate elegance. Resplendent round cartouche pendants dangle from an undulating ribbon band entwined with floral swag borders, further enhancing the rug's grandeur.
This antique Aubusson rug is enclosed by an acanthus ribbon border, coupled with an outer scallop border, creating a refined frame for its formal composition. These design elements, customary for Aubusson arrangements, showcase the style's predominant French influence, featuring ornate armorial medallions within intricate borders of rinceaux and garnished foliage.
But it is not only the embellishments that captivate; the extraordinary use of color adds depth and allure to the rug's narrative. Each hue harmonizes with the next, creating a mesmerizing dance that speaks with a timeless voice of sensual decadence and stately elegance.
In its entirety, this Aubusson masterpiece weaves together the tender, emotive, and vibrant details of human history, embodying the grand charm of a textile that transcends time, leaving an indelible mark on those who behold its beauty.
