An early 19th-century French Empire period Aubusson carpet from around 1820, measuring approximately 335.3 × 366.0 cm (about 11’0″ × 12’0″). The composition pairs an olive field with a chocolate-brown border, in the formal Empire-period vocabulary.
Aubusson is a town in central France with a flat-weave carpet tradition stretching back to the 17th century. Empire-period Aubussons are particularly rare on the antique market — these are over 200 years old.
