Antique Aubusson Oversized Large Oversized Big Rug Wool Green

Antique Aubusson Oversized Large Oversized Big Rug Wool Green, Circa Date: 1750s. This exceptional French production piece exemplifies the restrained elegance of the mid-18th century. Woven in the royal workshops of Aubusson, this textile captures the transition from the exuberant Rococo style toward Neoclassicism, making it a rare and historically significant example among antique rugs. The design is characterized by an open, golden field dominated by a spectacular arrangement of scrolling acanthus leaves, classical urns, and lush garlands. The central medallion is framed by intricate ribbons and swags, all executed with a painterly finesse typical of the era. The detailed rendering of roses and delicate foliage establishes it as a prime example of floral rugs. Commissioned likely for a grand salon or state room, the sheer scale of this piece is remarkable.
