No Reserve - Antique 19th Century French Aubusson Floral Rug 17 ft 9 in x 16 ft 2 in (5.41 m x 4.93 - Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs No Reserve - Antique 19th Century French Aubusson Floral Rug Size: 17 ft 9 in x 16 ft 2 in (5.41 m x 4.93 m) Provenance: Inventory of the late Albert Karmely This absolutely beautiful antique French Aubusson rug, woven in France towards the end of the 19th century, is a sublime example of the traditional Aubusson aesthetic at its most refined. Entwined laurel sprays form a large openwork medallion with a delicate floral bouquet at its center, surrounded by branches and vases enclosed within a border of flowering acanthus scrolls. The palette is as delicate as the design ? predominantly cream and tan, with touches of gold and green for the vines and soft pastel lavender for the flowers. Boasting the profound natural beauty and realistically rendered floral details that make Aubusson pieces so enduringly desirable, this is a truly gorgeous work.
