Oversized Antique Aubusson Flatweave Rug with Floral Medallion, from Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Handwoven in wool circa 1890-1900, this 12x17 antique Aubusson flatweave is a rare oversized rug among French tapestry weaves. Its design features borders with vine scrolls and cartouches around a large central medallion, all enjoying delicious cream, brown and pink tones. On the design: Admirers of the craft will appreciate the feat of capturing fine detail and impressionist, painterly style in this scale. This piece’s grandeur is matched only by the same feat of skill in its subtleties—especially the masterfully subdued florals in off-white tones throughout the open field. Few works of this provenance can boast such a deft hand that almost calls the eye to hunt for its colors and discover intricate details with every new look, let alone in this large size. It’s truly a masterpiece—a rich symphony of Greco Roman art among the most elegant transitional rugs in history. Condition: This antique Aubusson rug and oversized flatweave further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
