About the Item
Antique French Aubusson Botanic handmade wool rug.
Size: 12.6" × 15.1" (381 × 459 cm)
A captivating blend of tradition and modern flair, this 1920s French Aubusson rug showcases the elegance and innovation that defined early 20th-century European decorative arts. Woven in France—a region with centuries of prestigious tapestry-making heritage—this piece takes a daring departure from classical motifs, embracing a more fluid, abstract aesthetic while retaining the sophistication of the Aubusson tradition.
The rug features an allover scrolling foliate design in a stylized acanthus leaf motif, sprawling rhythmically across the entire surface. Against a rich, wine-red background, the swirling patterns in soft beige and silvery blue create a vivid sense of motion and depth. The layered botanical forms seem to dissolve and re-form like clouds or smoke, evoking a baroque dynamism but with Art Deco restraint.
What sets this piece apart is its minimalist composition devoid of a central medallion or border, allowing the elaborate pattern to take full visual command. This openness and repetition suggest a seamless, textile-like quality—ideal for large, elegant interiors where continuity and subtle movement are desired.
Expertly flatwoven in the traditional Aubusson tapestry technique, the rug is constructed from high-quality wool with a soft hand and refined texture. Its harmonious palette and abstracted botanical forms make it exceptionally versatile—suiting both classical interiors and more modern or transitional spaces.
This rug is a rare and beautiful example from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection of the crossroads between historic French craftsmanship and 20th-century decorative evolution, making it a sophisticated statement piece and collector’s treasure. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
