Very Large and Fine Aubusson Floral Carpet
About the Item
Very large and fine Aubusson floral carpet
French, c. 1870
Width 453cm, depth 320cm
This exquisite Aubusson carpet effortlessly captivates the viewer, serving as a tribute to the illustrious lineage of French carpet artistry.
At the core of this large-scale masterpiece is a meticulously crafted central panel, adorned with a refined wreath of harmoniously arranged foliage. The wreath emanates an aura of elegance, amplified by vibrant blue ribbons dancing among the blooms. These ribbons are elegantly moulded into intricate bows, infusing a lively dynamism into the composition. Nestled within the wreath's heart is a profusion of delicately tinted flowers, the roses amongst them offering a highlight, all rendered with the careful detail typical of the Aubusson style.
Encircling the central panel, a festoon of flowers and leaves cascades in a graceful, concentric manner. The garland, adorned with a shimmer of golden ropes and tassels, weaves a tale of refined sophistication and luxe, adding a further layer of richness to the design.
Providing a serene backdrop to the vibrant florals, the carpet features a geometric tableau of diamond-shaped medallions, each containing a stylised rendition of an acanthus leaf. The masterful arrangement, reminiscent of the magnificence of damask, employs a soft palette of beige shades, offering a pleasing counterpoint to the florals, enabling the subdued colours of the adornments to shine.
Encapsulating the entire visual narrative of the carpet is a border of leafy motifs, echoing the finesse of a giltwood frame. This superbly woven periphery lends a golden punctuation to the carpet, imbuing it with a sense of opulent grandeur, and aligning it with the revered traditions of French decorative arts.
Every square inch of this expansive Aubusson carpet speaks volumes of its creators' exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to beauty. Its pastel hues and intricate designs leave a lasting impression, making it an unparalleled piece of artistry in any setting.
