Antique Aubusson Carpets 43634

Aubusson, France, Late 19th Century - An allover design of rose stems repeats across the ivory field of this supremely elegant antique Aubusson. The field itself is circumscribed by an enclosing cartouche, embellished further by a lattice and more rose stems. A magnificent undulating ivory border of delicate rococo scrolls and rose garlands frames the field, enclosed finally by a rich salmon edge-ground making the transition to the rectangular form of the carpet.
