About the Item

Antique 19th Century French Aubusson Carpet (Size Adjusted) Size: 13'3" × 15'10" (403 × 482 cm) A stunning example of 19th-century French textile artistry, this antique Aubusson rug from circa 1880 captures the elegance and opulence of the Belle Époque. Handwoven in fine wool, the piece showcases the refined sophistication typical of the famed Aubusson workshops in central France. Set against a rich olive-brown field, the design features a rhythmic arrangement of large, stylized medallions surrounded by floral rosettes. Each medallion is rendered in soft pastels—creamy ivory, blush pink, and gentle lavender—punctuated by vivid reds and grounded by accents of black and cool gray-blue. The floral motifs echo neoclassical symmetry and create a balanced yet ornate composition. Delicate sprays of golden foliage are scattered across the background, adding textural nuance and visual depth. Meticulous craftsmanship is visible not only on the surface but also on the back, with precise tapestry weaving techniques and a fine weave structure. The palette remains vibrant, and the textile structure is well-preserved for its age, exhibiting expected signs of gentle wear that enhance its antique character. Ideal for a grand salon or refined interior, this French Aubusson offers timeless grace and historic charm, bridging the decorative arts and classical taste with understated luxury. A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
