Additional Features

• Origin: French rugs.
• Style: Aubusson rugs.
• The carpet features a garden lattice, surrounded by a delicate frame with knot work and highly detailed floral bouquets. The border itself is a spectacular feature of the highly detailed large oversized carpet. The field is in allover design that features a multitude of floral designs in the center of the latticework. Each of these floral designs is carried out using shading that gives it a three-dimensional effect. Each one looks as if it were painted by an artist with a fine brush. This is a masterwork by one of the most famous carpet weaving centers in all of Europe.
• When you look at this beautiful flat weave carpet, it is easy to see why the carpet works at Aubusson were some of the most famous in the world at the time. The works produced by the center rival those of the Orient and near East. They took their inspiration from the near Eastern carpet works of Persia, Turkey, and China, but they gave them their own unique French style. As you can see from this carpet, the results are truly breathtaking. This remarkable square size antique French Aubusson rug is an essential piece for a collection of mid-19th-century French artwork.
