On the Design:
Admirers of the craft may appreciate this transitional rug among the works of a special workshop from its period. Designers and connoisseurs will particularly note this rug’s masterful execution of symmetry, scale, and movement among its countless beauties—all exemplary of the French tapestry weave style, like few that remain of its kind today. The colorway is one of the most delicious elements here, where a blush pink tone is favored in the medallions and floral patterns beside cream and beige accents. So too is the detailing, not just in the quintessential sense of impressionism of an Aubusson like those in the cartouches of the corners, but in the graceful subtlety of the field’s execution of muted florals.
This honestly brings more attention to the finesse of their execution, and an element dimension that’s exceptional even for this provenance renowned for its works of majesty and detail. It’s also an oversized rug, with a particularly versatile large size with vast applications in interior design today. Altogether it’s a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both a masterpiece and a true collector’s rug, teeming with history and culture.
Condition:
This Antique Aubusson rug is in great condition for its age and origin, with some minor wear in the slit-tapestry weave of the central field itself.
