About the Item
Antique French Aubusson Rug
Size: 11'2" × 12'6" (340 × 381 cm)
Steeped in the elegance of the French Belle Époque, this exquisite Aubusson rug from circa 1900 is a prime example of the refined artistry for which the Aubusson region became renowned. Woven by hand using traditional tapestry techniques, the rug reflects the influence of 18th-century Rococo and neoclassical aesthetics, elevated by the pastel sophistication of early 20th-century French interior décor.
At the heart of the composition lies a lush bouquet of blooming florals rendered in shades of crimson, blush pink, ivory, and coral, gracefully arranged against a powdery ivory-beige medallion. The floral cluster appears suspended in a field of celadon and champagne beige, bordered by delicate scrollwork and palmette motifs in soft peach and warm taupe.
Surrounding the field is a striking acanthus-leaf border in shades of rust, mauve, and antique rose, framed by crisp curvilinear flourishes and rococo shells, which provide the piece with a sense of light movement and architectural form. The floral sprays in the corners mirror the central motif and provide a harmonious balance of symmetry and naturalism.
The finely woven wool construction and low pile create a smooth, tapestry-like surface with subtle sheen and extraordinary detail, further enhancing the romantic character of the design.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.

Many weavers who settled in France were Huguenots who had fled Spain during the Inquisition in the early 16th century.
