During the 17th and 18th centuries the French tapestries and the flat woven rugs that were produced in Aubusson France rivaled the best Royal manufacturers. These antique rugs and tapestries were known for their high level of detail and fine craftsmanship. This magnificent mid-19th century French Aubusson carpet is an excellent example of the fine detail and care that went into the making of each piece.
The beautiful blue color of the background highlight the rusty orange red and neutral tans of the border and central design. The central medallion design and consists of scrolled floral vine scrolls and leaves with various tones used for shading and add an exquisite level of artistic detail. The background is a tiled geometric design over which the other design elements appear to float.
When you look closely at the craftsmanship and level of detail it is easy to see why rug makers such as these could easily compete with the royal masters. This memorizing French carpet displays vertical and horizontal symmetry with a border that balances well with the scale of the central motif.
The central medallion has extensions pointing to the eight compass points. This center pattern radiates outwards and carries our gaze with it towards the far reaches and corners of this spectacular light blue French Aubusson carpet. This makes this large size area carpet seem even bigger than it is.
The piece is reminiscent of the formal reflecting pools and that graced the courtyards of French royalty. It exudes a soothing feeling of both relaxation and serene calmness. It would easily make an effortless addition to any room that needs a touch of formal continental flair and a piece that stands out in the skill and mastery of the artist.

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.
