About the Item
Exquisite 19th Century French Aubusson Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 7'7" × 10'3" (231 × 312 cm)
This magnificent French Aubusson rug, dating back to circa 1880, is a masterful representation of the refined decorative arts of 19th-century France. Woven with exceptional precision, it showcases the sophisticated design sensibilities of the Aubusson weaving tradition, celebrated for its harmonious palettes and classical elegance.
The composition is anchored by a regal central medallion, enclosed within a luminous celadon field encircled by intricately woven floral garlands. Surrounding the central motif, the rug features a formal layout of urns brimming with lifelike bouquets, delicately rendered in pastel hues of blush pink, soft lavender, powder blue, and ivory. Lavish scrolling acanthus leaves in complementary tones of gold and periwinkle frame the corners and edges, imparting depth and movement to the composition.
The background—a warm, dusty rose tone—provides a gentle contrast to the light central medallion, enhancing the overall sense of balance and grace. A border of floral swags and architectural flourishes adds a final note of opulence, uniting the classical symmetry of the design with the romantic softness of its botanical elements.
Handwoven in wool, this Aubusson tapestry rug is not only a testament to technical skill but also to the enduring charm of French neoclassical artistry. Ideal for traditional interiors, salons, or formal living spaces, it remains a captivating decorative statement over a century after its creation.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. 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.
