Antique Aubusson Rug, 19th century - A single oval medallion within a grand cartouche border or frame constitutes the essential design of this impressive yet understated Aubusson. Burgundy or magenta and rose accents stand out sparingly against the prevailing pale tones. The openness of the field is lightly embellished by a pattern of soft tan wreaths that scarcely show amidst the ivory ground color. |
