About the Item

This magnificent rug, having undergone a thorough cleaning, hand-lined with 100% linen fabric, and meticulous inspection by our experts in our artisan workshop, is now ready to grace your home. The Excellence of French Craftsmanship This magnificent circular rug is a masterpiece from the prestigious Aubusson Manufactory, a renowned center of French tapestry and a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage site. Reflecting the art of living in the 19th century, this piece embodies the classic elegance and splendor of Empire-era interiors. A Royal Color Palette The rug is distinguished by a harmony of colors that is both deep and luminous: The Background: A rich, velvety moss green that brings an organic and calming presence to the space. The Border: A dense chocolate brown that powerfully accentuates the circular silhouette of the piece. The Motifs: A profusion of floral hues—powder pinks, carmine reds, and creamy whites—contrast delicately with the ochre and gold tones of the scrolling foliage. Unparalleled Ornamental Richness The design revolves around a spectacular central medallion, adorned with a swirling floral rosette. This centerpiece is surrounded by a broad laurel wreath and stylized fleur-de-lis, symbols of nobility and victory. The rug's perimeter is punctuated by festoons of exquisitely delicate floral garlands, linked by ornamental cartouche motifs. Every detail testifies to the precision of the Aubusson master weavers, capable of transforming wool into a veritable textile masterpiece. A Historical Heritage To own a 19th-century Aubusson rug is to bring history into your home. Prized by the European aristocracy and upper middle class, these rugs were designed to enhance reception rooms. Their circular shape, particularly rare and sought after, makes them an ideal collector's item, adding prestige and elegance to a room.
