Antique French Carpets — Featuring recorders, violins, and horns over a neutral flower-filled field, this carpet from Aubusson is an excellent example of early Neoclassic carpets and designs that foreshadow American traditions. In a quickly advancing art, this carpet shows a number of advanced techniques in the shadows and perspective. In addition to the detailed shading on the foliage and flowers, the play of light and dark and realistic shadows make this Aubusson carpet an outstanding art piece.
