Aubusson / 10987

An Aubusson in a soft, restrained palette of pink, cream, white and neutrals, this antique rug reads like a painted textile. A central oval cartouche hosts a loose bouquet set against a subtle lattice ground, framed by rococo scrolling arabesques and floral corner bouquets. The wool retains a soft, painterly surface and shows low, even wear that preserves crisp motifs and a gentle patina. Edges are tidy with minimal abrasion, the overall effect refined and tactile. Circa 1880 - 1900. Dimensions: 9' 2" x 12' 3". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
