Antique Aubusson French Rug 43641
43641 Antique Aubusson, France, nineteenth century - This
arresting antique Aubusson preserves a tradition of design originating
in the court workshops of Louis the XIV. At the center a series of
leafy branches outline an open ivory oval medallion surrounded by a
dark tan frame defined by undulating rococo C-scrolls. A magenta
acanthus scroll provides an added accent. Acanthus scrolls define the
main frame with an outer zone of black and an inner area of celadon.
Cornerpieces echo the ivory ground and naturalistic floral bouquets of
the central medallion. While the design is classic Aubusson, the richer
more vibrant coloration is unusual among carpets of this kind.
