About the Item

The French factory in Aubusson is famous both for the production of wall tapestries and for the weaving of beautiful floor rugs. Both of these textiles, always of high quality, were destined to complete the sumptuous furnishings of villas and palaces of the Parisian aristocracy. As with tapestries, rug cartoons were also designed by the best artists of the time, according to the dictates of the most fashionable style of the moment. The specimen that we propose with measures from palace, is of the first half of the 800. This beautiful building in excellent condition has particularly soft colors and a decoration that, despite its richness, appears sober and refined, characteristic of this typical style of Louis Philippe (1830/1850). The uniform tobacco background is decorated with garlands and flowers of various shapes. In the center a basket with a cascade of flowers. The rich border contains 4 scrolls with noble coats of arms.

Late 19th Century Antique French Aubusson Rug, Hotel Lobby Size Carpet
By Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise, Eugène-Pierre Gourdet
Located in Dallas, TX
74394 Late 19th Century Antique Aubusson Rug, 14'06 x 25'03. A French Aubusson rug refers to a type of flat-weave rug that originated in the town of Aubusson, located in the Creuse region of central France. These rugs have a long history dating back to the 15th century, and they are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, intricate designs, and fine materials. Exuding an aura of true decadence, this Late 19th Century antique French Aubusson rug emerges as a mesmerizing testament to handwoven beauty. Its intricate details and luxurious texture captivate the senses, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of Aubusson craftsmanship. At its heart lies an elaborate design reminiscent of a palatial facade. A central acanthus leaf oval ceiling medallion, outlined by complementary scrollwork, evokes romantic connotations, while an array of quincunx motifs, reminiscent of the ceiling designs by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise and Eugene-Pierre Gourdet, adorn the field in an alluring pattern. Trompe l'oeil filigree adorns a delicate light pink oval band encircling the inner composition, where a rose festoon intertwines with a floral swag, adding a touch of delicate elegance. Resplendent round cartouche pendants dangle from an undulating ribbon band entwined with floral swag borders, further enhancing the rug's grandeur. This antique Aubusson rug is enclosed by an acanthus ribbon border, coupled with an outer scallop border, creating a refined frame for its formal composition. These design elements, customary for Aubusson arrangements, showcase the style's predominant French influence, featuring ornate armorial medallions within intricate borders of rinceaux and garnished foliage. But it is not only the embellishments that captivate; the extraordinary use of color adds depth and allure to the rug's narrative. Each hue harmonizes with the next, creating a mesmerizing dance that speaks with a timeless voice of sensual decadence and stately elegance. In its entirety, this Aubusson masterpiece weaves together the tender, emotive, and vibrant details of human history, embodying the grand charm of a textile that transcends time, leaving an indelible mark on those who behold its beauty.
