Large Belle Epoque Era Aubusson Carpet, circa 1870
About the Item
The town of Aubusson has long since been famous for the high quality of its textiles, its reputation stretching back as far as the 14th Century, as a centre of Medieval tapestry weaving. In the 17th Century, its workshops were given ‘Royal Appointment’ status, commissioned to produce elaborate carpets for the French Court, well-known for their tight weaves and lustrous wool.
This piece dates to the late 19th Century - the period known as the 'Belle Epoque' - featuring a wonderfully crisp floral design, worked over a burgundy ground surrounded by a sage green and duck egg blue border, the colours of which have all gracefully aged.
A beautiful carpet, of a rare and impressive size, which would make a fine addition to any interior.
In very good condition for everyday use.

- Arts & Crafts Donegal CarpetLocated in London, GBAntique Donegal Carpets, woven in the town of Killybegs, County Donegal, from the 1890s onwards, represent some of the most unique and highly sought-after European weavings - originally, a Western interpretation of earlier Turkish Oushak carpets, incorporating a wide array of design elements borrowed from both the Arts and Crafts movement and traditional Celtic art.
