Oversized Antique French Aubusson Beige Rug with Floral Medallion - Rug & Kilim
About the Item
Handwoven in wool, this 16x18 antique oversized Aubusson rug originating from France, holds both aesthetic and historical value, suitable for institutional collections, period interiors, or collectors seeking significant examples of 18th-century European textile artistry.
On the Design:
This French Aubusson rug represents a quintessential example of Louis XV period decorative arts. Characterized by its formal balance, the design centers around a finely detailed medallion flanked by elaborate cartouches, botanical flourishes, and flowing ribbons. The design reflects the Rococo aesthetic—light, ornamental, and inspired by natural forms—with delicate floral garlands, scrolling vines, and feathered acanthus leaves. Executed in a soft, harmonious palette of faded rose, ivory, muted teal, and pale gold, the rug’s coloration underscores its age while preserving the refinement of its original palette. The nuanced shading within each motif reveals the advanced skill of the Aubusson weavers, who translated classical French design principles into textile form.
This piece is in notably strong condition for its age, with minor professional restoration implemented to retain structural integrity and visual continuity. Its preservation is a testament to the care taken over generations. It is an ideal textile for a stately salon, a romantic library, or a space that honors silence, music, and memory.
Condition:
This antique Aubusson rug enjoys a great condition for its age and origin following minor restoration to preserve its original condition, making it a very special classic addition to important collections and spaces.
