The Antique Aubusson French Floral, Medallion Flat Weave Rug is an exquisite wool textile originating from the 1870s. Woven in the renowned Aubusson workshops of France, this rectangular rug reflects the refined elegance of the late Second Empire period. The design features a central elongated medallion filled with lush garlands of roses and peonies in muted shades of mauve and sage. Framed by Rococo-inspired scrollwork and an earthy brown border, the intricate floral arrangements float against a shimmering taupe and ivory field. With a low 0.25-inch pile height, this flat-weave tapestry rug offers a luxurious yet understated foundation for formal salons or drawing rooms. Its room-size dimensions and painterly quality provide a sophisticated connection to 19th-century French decorative arts.
