Aubusson-Style French Wool Flat-Weave Rug – 4800 × 2700cm
A truly handsome Aubusson-style flat-weave wool rug, measuring an impressive 4800 × 2700 cm, with a beautifully detailed French tapestry aesthetic. The rug features a dramatic charcoal/black ground with an elegant palette of ivory, muted gold, soft sage, dusty pink and peach. At the centre is a richly decorated floral medallion, surrounded by delicate floral garlands, urns, acanthus scrollwork and classical decorative borders – all motifs strongly associated with traditional French Aubusson design. The flat-weave construction has no visible pile, giving the rug the refined appearance of a tapestry while allowing it to lie beautifully flat without backing. The texture and appearance are consistent with wool, and it has been entirely handcrafted by skilled artisans in Pakistan in the classic French Aubusson tradition. This is a particularly striking example due to its exceptional proportions, sophisticated colourway and intricate decorative design. Rugs of this scale and quality are produced in relatively small numbers and make a real statement in a formal drawing room, dining room, entrance hall or large open-plan living space. Importantly, the rug has been hung on a wall rather than used on the floor, and is therefore offered in lovely original condition.
