Fine circa 1890 Aubusson Carpet.
4.00 x 2.96 m.
The town of Aubusson has long since been famous for the high quality of its textiles, its reputation stretching back as far as the 14th Century, as a centre of Medieval tapestry weaving. In the 17th Century, its workshops were given ‘Royal Appointment’ status, commissioned to produce elaborate carpets for the French Court, well-known for their tight weaves and lustrous wool.
This piece dates to the late 19th Century - the period known as the 'Belle Epoque' - featuring a wonderfully crisp floral design, with sage green and duck egg blue tones, worked over a muted ground surrounded by a salmon border, the colours of which have all gracefully aged.
A beautiful carpet, which would make a fine addition to any interior.
In very good condition for everyday use.
