1850s Ivory Field Classical French Antique European Aubusson Oversized Rug

A striking antique ivory and beige Aubusson, hand-woven in wool in France around 1850. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases an allover composition across an ivory and beige palette, and measures 10'0" x 18'9". Aubusson is a celebrated French weaving tradition named for the town in central France, dating to the 17th century. Aubusson carpets are known for their refined, elegant compositions - graceful floral medallions and architectural borders in soft, sophisticated tones. Its generous, oversized scale makes a statement in a great room, primary suite or open-plan space. The ivory palette is endlessly versatile, lightening and enlarging a room. Hand-made from natural fibers, it carries the warmth and irregular charm of true handcraft.
