About the Item

Antique French Aubusson Carpet with Romantic Motifs and Delicate Color Palette. Antique Large French Aubusson Carpet with Romantic Motifs and Delicate Color Palette. This elegant antique Aubusson carpet is a resplendent example of the lush architectural style and romantic botanical motifs that captivated European aristocracy for centuries. The softly colored field has a luxurious aura heightened by the delicate color palette and fragile floral motifs. Precise shading adds a painterly realism to the dimensional leaf scrolls and romantic cabbage rose bouquets. The masterful design incorporates broad open spaces that give the delicate composition an ethereal levity. Multiple sets of architectural borders and gilded acanthus leaf frames support the sophisticated floral medallion. Subtle asymmetric accents and decorative objects abound in this Aubusson carpet. Measures: 12'7 x 16'6.
