Antique Floral Aubusson Tapestry Runner Rug in Cream & Green, from Rug & Kilim
About the Item
This 4x11 antique Aubusson tapestry runner rug is one of a rare set of twin flatweaves from turn-of-the-century France. Both handwoven in wool circa 1890-1900, their design features green and brown borders around a cream field with colorful, finely detailed impressionist floral patterns.
On the design:
This piece enjoys several distinctions from European rugs and tapestries of its period—particularly its open field and architectural borders. Whereas many Aubussons favor grand, elaborate medallions and borders with dense patterns, here is a humble palette and more simple, yet warm presence that seems to draw on country sensibilities. It has a more subtle, reserved sensibility that’s both collectible and one-of-a-kind among transitional rugs of its period. Its long, narrow orientation is especially versatile, too—well-suited for hallways, entryways and other such particular spaces where runners thrive.
Condition:
Both these antique Aubusson runners are in good condition, and can be purchased individually or as a pair upon request. They’re ready for the floor, and are equally suitable as table runners and wall-hanging tapestries, too.

- Antique French Aubusson TapestryLocated in New York, NYThe Aubusson tapestry manufacture of the 17th and 18th centuries managed to compete with the royal manufacture of Gobelins tapestry and the privileged position of Beauvais tapestry. Tapestry manufacture at Aubusson, in the upper valley of the Creuse in central France, may have developed from looms in isolated family workshops established by Flemings that are noted in documents from the 16th century. Typically, Aubusson tapestries depended on engravings as a design source or the full-scale cartoons from which the low-warp tapestry-weavers worked. As with Flemish and Parisian tapestries...Category
