Based on an original Asmara painting by Tracy Schmidt inspired by French Empire Aubusson Rugs. A black ground and black border enclose an octagonal medallion. Accents of beige, brown, and red add energy to the design. Garonne was featured in the January 2017 exhibition Classical Splendor at The Philadelphia Museum of Art. Made with ancient French Aubusson dyeing and weaving methods, this hand-knotted Aubusson flat weave rug has thousands of subtle color shades, similar to antique Aubusson rugs. Has passed independent durability tests by the Independent Textile Service of Dalton, Georgia, USA. Green manufacturing methods make this rug safe for children and pets. Used with a pad this rug helps to keep rooms warm in winter, cool in summer, and dampen urban noise.
