Antique Large Aubusson French Floral, Medallion Flat Weave Rug, Circa Date: 1830s. This exceptional French flat weave, dating to the early 19th century, exemplifies the refined elegance characteristic of the Empire period. The field utilizes a sophisticated palette centered on a brown earth tone, providing a warm, grounding backdrop for the delicate, repeating floral sprigs that cover the surface in a subtle, all-over pattern. The focal point of the composition is the dramatic, scalloped central medallion. This intricate design features a bold, radiating 8-pointed star motif rendered in vibrant reds, pale yellows, and soft blues, contrasting sharply with the subdued field. The corners of the main field echo the central complexity with smaller, highly detailed floral bouquets framed by scrolling vines.
