Antique Aubusson French Allover Geometric Flat Weave Red Rug, Country of Origin: France, Circa Date: 1830s. This exceptional example of early 19th-century weaving represents the transition from formal Neoclassicism to the bolder, more eclectic designs of the Romantic era. As one of our finest antique rugs, its construction as a flat weave tapestry provides a unique drape and texture, distinct from pile carpets of the period. The central field is dominated by a complex, allover geometric trellis pattern rendered in deep maroon and rich brown tones. Interspersed within this lattice are vibrant accents of red and a sophisticated use of salmon coral pink detailing, which adds unexpected warmth and depth to the composition. This dense field contrasts sharply with the ornamental borders, a hallmark of high-quality Aubusson production.
