Aubusson / 11842

An Aubusson in wool, this antique rug presents a warm brown field punctuated by neutral bouquets and restrained red accents. Meandering stems and clustered flowers are drawn with a painterly hand and framed by a slim tonal border that keeps the composition intimate. Wear is low and the surface retains a soft patina that reads as careful age rather than heavy use. The overall effect is tactile and refined, a study in floral draftsmanship executed with atelier restraint. Circa 1900 - 1930. Exact size 5' 3" x 6' 10". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
