Antique Aubusson French Rug 43646
Antique Aubusson, France, late nineteenth century - A floral medallion
defined by sinuous rococo scrolls floats majestically within an ivory
field on this classic French Aubusson. Pendant floral swags
or garlands appear to hang form the medallion, enclosing it like a
grand corolla. Tiny bouquets in the four corners occupy what otherwise
appears to be an open field, although a closer look reveals a very
subtle, tone-on-tone lattice pattern. A classic Aubusson border of
filleted laurel garlands, floral sprays, and cartouches frames the
field, giving it an almost architectural quality.
