Aubusson / 10938

An Aubusson woven in soft, painterly tones, this antique rug reads like a period tapestry. The composition centers on an oval medallion framed by scrolling rococo cartouches and garlands of roses in pink, cream and muted green. The wool pile has low distress and a matte, velvety surface that preserves the brushlike detailing. Scale is generous at 15' 8" x 16' 8", giving the design room to breathe while retaining quiet, archival presence. Circa 1890 - 1910, the piece exemplifies the refined interplay of pattern, colour, and time in traditional Aubusson weaving.
