French Antique Aubusson Rug, with Medallion and Floral Pattern

About the Item

Handwoven in wool, this 12x14 French Antique Aubusson rug features a play of medallion and all over style with floral patterns particularly acanthus motifs, the curvaceous garlands in the stylistic details and a lattice underneath. On the design: Connoisseurs will admire this piece featuring a regal design that arguably represents the pinnacle of this European lineage—particularly in its fine details and elegant sensibility. It’s equally collectible for being a rug like few of this French style and versatile size alike. Keen eyes may further admire especially present tones, as well as the sheer variety of such complementary accents that paint such an immersive portrait. It’s a masterpiece of countless subtleties, teeming with the feminine beauty and regal sensibility that embodies this transitional neoclassical style. As our principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal likes to calls it among the most sophisticated weaving styles of history, this particular piece features architectural borders and detailed medallions. Condition: Good condition, wear consistent with age, but ready for the floor and wall-hanging purposes alike—an extremely collectible, rare find among masterpieces of the French tapestry weave and aristocratic commissions alike.
