Large Antique French Needlepoint Rug 43635

Beautiful and Large Antique French Needlepoint Rug, Country of Origin: France, Circa Date: 19th Century – A lush compartment design filled with vases spewing exuberant leafy sprays repeats in allover symmetry across the field of this extraordinary antique French needlepoint rug. Leafy vine scrolls reminiscent in style and color of the floral sprays fill the various borders comprising the compartment system in this impressive antique rug. But they are set against an ivory ground fro graphic contrast. The style and design repertoire here recall the great French Savonnerie and Aubusson carpets, although with a richer, more vibrant palette entirely appropriate to the richness of the design.
