About the Item
Antique French Aubusson Rug
Size: 12'10" × 19'8" (391 × 599 cm)
This magnificent Antique French Aubusson Rug, dating from the early 20th century, epitomizes the refined artistry and decorative opulence of French textile tradition. Woven entirely by hand from soft, high-quality wool, the piece showcases the signature craftsmanship of the Aubusson region, long revered for its regal tapestry-style rugs.
The composition is defined by a latticework of scrolling floral garlands, arranged in a diagonal trellis pattern. Within each diamond panel blooms a stylized pink rose bouquet, flanked by smaller blue and ivory daisies and leafy vines. This rhythmic symmetry gives the rug a sense of elegance and visual harmony, capturing the romanticism and pastoral grace typical of Belle Époque aesthetics.
Set against a rich cocoa brown field, the pastel hues of the florals—soft pinks, warm corals, buttery yellows, and pale blues—create a painterly contrast that is both vibrant and soothing. The palette exudes faded grandeur, with natural aging lending a graceful patina.
A finely detailed floral border frames the central lattice, featuring sinuous vines bearing bursts of multicolored blossoms, echoing the central theme but adding visual density and movement to the perimeter. The inner guard border, with its twisted cord motif in ivory and red, acts as a delicate divider between the field and the outer edge, enhancing the structural clarity of the design.
Despite its age, the rug retains crisp articulation and color integrity, with visible hand-knotting that speaks to its authenticity and exceptional technique. Whether placed in a formal salon, grand entryway, or gallery-like space, this antique Aubusson masterpiece offers both aesthetic richness and historical significance.
Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
