High-quality Early 20th Century French Aubusson Brown (Size Adjusted) Rug

Creator: Aubusson
Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
This French antique rug is an example of Aubusson weaving craft, reaching back to the 18th century. The rug, created circa 1920, carries a pattern of graceful flower bouquets against a warm brown background – in contrast to traditional Aubusson designs, this one does not have multiple borders, spandrels, cartouche or a central medallion. Thus, its style is rather Bessarabian than French. The size of the Aubusson rug is adjusted, the borders are finished with dark brown trimming.

The antique rug was made by hand of high-quality wool in accordance with the traditional Aubusson weaving technique. Due to careful execution, it survived until this day in excellent condition and will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear, provided minimal maintenance.
