Antique Aubusson French Rugs 43633

Aubusson, France, Late 19th Century - On this remarkably delicate antique Aubusson, a cluster of realistically rendered flowers constitutes a central medallion within an open field, surrounded by a larger oval frame of garlands and festoons. The border proper is comprised by cartouche cornerpieces and the rectangular panels between them which are filled in turn by swags and acanthus scrolls. An outer zone or border in mauve-tan adds the final framing touch to a adesign of the utmost subtlety.
