This Antique Large Aubusson French Floral, Medallion Knotted Rug dates back to the 1830s, capturing the refined Neoclassical aesthetic of the Restoration period. The field features a sophisticated brown earth-tone color, providing a warm ground for delicate pastel floral arrangements. Its design centers on a circular medallion with roses and laurel leaves, flanked by symmetrical cartouches. Unlike typical flat-woven examples, this rare knotted pile creation offers exceptional depth and durability. Handcrafted in France from wool, the verdant outer border showcases scrolling acanthus leaves. This rectangular rug serves as an ideal foundation for a formal salon or dining hall.
