Antique French Aubusson rug carpet, circa 1890 13'4 x 16'6. Typical French Aubusson design, with the central ivory medallion surrounded by a rose colored swirl, full of gold leaf stems, this itself enclosed in an ivory field with a floral motif on the edges. Situated on the banks of the river Creuse in France Aubusson had been well-known for producing tapestries for centuries.
