About the Item

Western Central France 6’6” x 6’9” (1.98 x 2.05m) Circa 1830s Louis Philippe period Warp: wool, medium brown, 15 per inch Pattern Weft: wool or gilt metal thread This extremely finely woven and precisely executed wall or table tapestry displays a complex cartouche - lattice pattern. The multi toned panels are centered by floriated quatrefoils or other arabesque medallions. There is no unifying field color. The narrow border of partial guilloches moves the eye around the rug. The metal thread has tarnished to a brown tone on the front from an originally brighter gold still visible on the verso. It was produced by gilding very thin copper sheet, cutting it into thin strips and winding it around a silk core. The precision of this process and its end result in this rug is mind- boggling. The pattern is taken from contemporary velvet textiles with the repeat enlarged to about two feet by four feet. The design is vaguely Islamic/Moorish in style, and hence a “Spanish” character has been assigned to this type of Aubusson.   The truly exemplary condition indicates a wall or table use, but since there are no stains or pressure marks from the latter use, we may assume that it was always hung. The slight color mellowing indicates a period of gentle exposure. A few other pieces of this Fine weave, wide color scheme and complex all-over design are known, and most of them, as here, are relatively small.
