About the Item

Antique French Aubusson Runner Rug Doris Leslie Blau Size: 3'8" × 11'5" (111 × 347 cm) refined aesthetic and masterful craftsmanship of 19th-century French textile art. Woven in the famous tapestry workshops of Aubusson, this elegant piece showcases a vibrant and symmetrical design featuring stylized floral medallions arranged in a vertical sequence. The main field is defined by a striking black backdrop, which enhances the vivid palette of raspberry red, ivory, rose pink, mustard yellow, and muted green. The floral motifs appear as blooming medallions, each composed of heart-shaped petals or leaves encircling rosette centers. These elements are flanked by charming botanical sprigs rendered in rhythmic succession, lending a sense of movement and cohesion. The border design further accentuates the runner’s decorative flair, composed of alternating golden ochre and taupe checkered blocks, which frame the inner field with architectural precision. A wavy vine motif with rounded blossom forms adds playful rhythm, while the entire composition remains balanced and elegantly proportioned. Woven in wool using a flat-woven tapestry technique typical of Aubusson rugs, this runner reflects the artistic sophistication of French neoclassical interior design. While intended as a floor covering, it also possesses the visual depth and painterly quality of fine wall hangings. This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
