Antique Aubusson French Medallion Flat Weave Carpet, Circa Date: 1820s. This exceptional example of French weaving is a testament to early 19th-century elegance. The robust flat weave construction, characteristic of Aubusson production, offers a refined, low-profile texture ideal for formal settings. This piece joins a distinguished collection of antique rugs from the Continent. The central field is dominated by a sophisticated, faded sage, making it a superb example of green color rugs. This expansive ground is adorned with subtle, repeating rosettes, providing a quiet backdrop that allows the intricate central medallion to command attention. The medallion itself is richly detailed, featuring a complex floral bouquet rendered in soft pinks, blues, and creams, framed by a scalloped border.
