Late 19th Century French Aubusson Tapestry Cushion with Rococo Style
Located in Dallas, TX
79199 Late 19th Century Antique French Aubusson Tapestry Cushion, 01'09 x 01'06 x 00'06. Woven with whispers of bygone grandeur, this handwoven wool French Aubusson tapestry cushion from the Late 19th Century captures the lyrical heart of a pastoral fable, rendered in threads of gentle nostalgia and refined artistry. At its center, a fox gazes longingly upward toward a pair of birds perched delicately on a tree branch, evoking the timeless tale of La Fontaine’s The Fox and the Crow—a moral parable spun into the language of tapestry. The scene is framed by a lush wreath of scrolling acanthus leaves and voluptuous blossoms—roses, peonies, and wildflowers—blooming in softened tones of pink, ochre, and antique gold. Each carefully handwoven detail reveals the elegant precision of the Aubusson weaver’s loom, where every knot and weft captures a painterly sensitivity to light, form, and emotion. The background shimmers with subtle gradations of mossy green and parchment beige, conjuring the feel of a sun-dappled glade, while the figures themselves seem to pause in narrative stillness—caught in a moment of wit, desire, and the age-old dance of cunning and vanity. The Aubusson pillow becomes a miniature stage for moral reflection, set within the poetic landscape of 19th-century French salon decor. Beneath the pastoral charm lies the hallmark of the Aubusson tradition: a low-warp tapestry technique prized for its fine execution and seamless color transitions. This cushion, originally born of a larger wall tapestry fragment, has been lovingly preserved and reimagined with a sumptuous velvet backing—ensuring the legacy of the weaver’s hand continues to offer comfort and delight. The delicately frayed edges and mellowed palette speak not of wear, but of history—an aged beauty that softens with time, like a well-loved verse recited over generations. More than a decorative object, this antique Aubusson pillow...

Antique Persian Serapi Carpet, Handmade Wool Oriental Rug Ivory, Rust
Located in Port Washington, NY
Extremely Rare size, which leads us to believe this carpet originally was a custom order for a Nobel Family. Antique Serapi carpets are one of the most sought after rugs particularly in America and England for many years. Antique Serapi rugs are a major draw particularly in big city America. Serapi carpets were woven on the level of small workshop with multiple weavers working several years to complete each rug. Highly skilled artisans, they continually reinterpreted the design as they wove, creating highly spontaneous and inventive artistry. Measures: 16'2" x 18'2". Serapi is a term that is a mystery in the Persian antique carpet market. There is no location or tribe of this name. Sarab, also spelled Saab, a town in northwestern Persia, is known for weaving only runners with a camel hair pile during the nineteenth century. "Serapi" may be a nickname given by American dealers...

Antique and Vintage Rugs for Sale: Shop Turkish Rugs, Moroccan Rugs, Indian Rugs and Other Rugs on 1stDibs

Good antique rugs and vintage rugs have made their way into homes across the globe, becoming fixtures used for comfort, prayer and self-expression, so choosing the right area rug is officially a universal endeavor.

In modern usage, “carpet” typically denotes a wall-to-wall floor cushioning that is fixed to the floor. Rugs, on the other hand, are designed to cover a specific area and can easily be moved to new locations. However, the terms are interchangeable in many parts of the world, and, in the end, it won’t matter what you decide to call it.

It’s well known that a timeless Persian rug or vintage Turkish rug can warm any interior, but there are lots of other styles of antique rugs to choose from when you're endeavoring to introduce fresh colors and textures to a bedroom or living room.

Moroccan Berber rugs are not all about pattern. In fact, some of the most striking examples are nearly monochrome. But what these rugs lack in complexity, they make up for in brilliant color and subtle variation. Moroccan-style interiors can be mesmerizing — a sitting room of this type might feature a Moroccan rug, carved wooden screens and a tapestry hung behind the sofa.

Handwoven kilim rugs, known for their wealth of rich colors and unique weaving tradition, are pileless: Whereas the Beni Ourain rugs of Morocco can be described as dense with a thick surface or pile, an authentic kilim rug is thin and flat. (The term “kilim” is Turkish in origin, but this type of textile artistry is practiced all across the Balkans, throughout the Arab world and elsewhere.) 

When it comes to eye-catching floor coverings, the distinctive “medallion” pattern of Oushak rugs has two types of rounded shapes alternating against a rich red or blue background created with natural dyes, while the elaborate “star” pattern involves large eight-pointed shapes in diagonal rows alternating with diamonds.  

If you’re looking for something unexpected, find a runner rug that pops in your hallway or on your stairs. Dig for dazzling geometric patterns in our inventory of mid-century modern rugs and carpets, which includes works designed by the likes of Swedish textile masters Märta Måås-Fjetterström, Marianne Richter and other artisans. 

Carpets and rugs have been around for thousands of years. Prehistoric humans turned to animal skin, wool and fur to craft simple fabrics to soften hard terrain. A 2016 study suggests that "cave lions" were hunted for exactly this purpose, and that decorating your cave with their pelts may have conferred strength and prestige. Although many of these early textiles are still in existence, tracing their precise origins is difficult. Carpets quickly became such a valuable trade commodity that the weavings could easily travel far from their places of origin. 

The oldest known carpet was found in southern Siberia. (It may have traveled there from Persepolis in Iran.) For the flat-weave floor rugs crafted by Native Americans, cotton was the primary material before sheep’s wool was introduced in the 16th century. In Europe, carpet-making was fundamental to folk art, and Asian carpets imported to European countries were at one time considered a precious luxury and not intended to remain permanently on the floor. 

With the variety of area rugs and carpets rolled out for you on 1stDibs — a collection that includes traditional, modern, minimalist rugs and other coverings of all kinds — things will be looking up whenever you’re looking down.
