About the Item
French Aubusson Wool Rug by Galerie Chevalier – “Garden of Eden” at Doris Leslie Blau
Circa: 1980
Size: 15'1" × 20'1" (459 × 612 cm)
This striking vintage French Aubusson rug, crafted in the 1980s by the prestigious Galerie Chevalier in Paris, is a resplendent homage to the timeless Garden of Eden theme. Meticulously handwoven in wool, the rug exemplifies the finesse and decorative richness for which Aubusson tapestries are renowned.
The centerpiece of the composition features a lush pastoral scene reminiscent of the Garden of Eden—a verdant landscape brimming with stylized flora, fruit-laden trees, and delicate birds in flight. Serpentine vines, soft clouds, and animals nestled within naturalistic scenery evoke a sense of idyllic harmony and biblical allegory.
Surrounding this central tableau is an elaborate Rococo-style cartouche, filled with ornate scrollwork, florals, and foliate motifs in vibrant hues of cerulean blue, ruby red, golden ochre, and delicate ivory. Intricately curved architectural borders and flourishes enrich the perimeter with Baroque grandeur, blending theatrical elegance with the lyrical charm of 18th-century French decorative arts.
Despite being a 20th-century creation, the rug captures the spirit of antique Aubusson artistry with exceptional precision, both in palette and weave. The craftsmanship reflects the highest standards of French tradition, with Galerie Chevalier’s hallmark of quality and refinement.
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.
