Antique Large Aubusson French Floral, Medallion Pile Carpet, Circa Date: 1830s. This exquisite French Aubusson piece, dating from the Charles X Restoration period, captures the refined Neoclassical aesthetic prevalent in the 1830s. The field is dominated by a sophisticated brown earth-tone color, providing a rich, warm ground for the delicate pastel floral arrangements that define its structure. The design centers on a beautifully articulated circular medallion, bursting with roses and smaller blossoms, encircled by a graceful wreath of laurel leaves. This central motif is flanked by symmetrical cartouches and cornucopia-like vases overflowing with lush bouquets, demonstrating the formal balance characteristic of the highest quality French court weaving.
