Massive Antique French Palace Size Aubusson Rug 19'9x49'
About the Item
Massive antique French Palace size Aubusson rug, 19'9 x 49'. Now this is a special rug! Clearly it was a special commission when new. The room for it must have been 25 x 54 or so. The original owner was almost surely a nobleman or member of the highest French social classes. An enormous ivory central ellipse closely fills the rich wine field with giant arrow corners embracing bouquets and arabesques. The border as on so many Aubusson s resembles a giltwood picture frame. The carpet is in top condition hardly ever having been used. Of course the space for this magnificent work is rare and not many places with salons of the size required are being built today but someone somewhere out there needs this carpet.
