The Antique French Floral, Medallion Flat Weave Rug is an exceptional wool piece crafted in France, dating back to the 1890s. Executed in the manner of Aubusson tapestries, this rectangular rug features a highly symmetrical floral arrangement on a luminous ivory, tan, and white ground. The central design showcases a flowing cartouche filled with naturalistic roses and foliage, complemented by stylized fruit and acanthus leaves. With a low 0.25-inch pile height, this flatweave textile offers a delicate patina and a sophisticated palette of soft pinks, mauves, and taupes. Its narrow, elongated format makes it a versatile choice, functioning beautifully as a traditional floor covering or a striking decorative wall panel in formal and contemporary settings alike.
