This antique French Aubusson square rug dates from the second half of the 19th century in the French Rococo style. Woven from wool and cotton, the flatweave design presents a striking rose red field dominated by a central pink floral medallion and a rose garland motif. Further enrichment comes from an acanthus scroll border displaying cream, brown, and pale blue floral sprays against a pale yellow outer ground. The visible construction reveals a backed fabric with faint minor staining, though no repairs are present. Measuring 175 cm high, 155 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, this floor covering brings a classic period aesthetic to a traditional drawing room, formal dining space, or gracious bedroom interior.

FAQs

Aubusson rugs originate from the historic weaving center of Aubusson, France, and are distinguished by their flat-woven tapestry construction featuring fine floral motifs, scrollwork borders, and soft neoclassical color palettes.

Traditionally, Aubusson carpets are hand-woven using fine wool yarns on cotton or linen warps, employing tapestry weaving techniques to create a dense, pile-less textile.

Authentic pieces feature a flat weave without a tufted pile, visible slit-tapestry construction where color changes meet, and classical French design motifs such as central medallions, rococo scrolls, and botanical garlands.

An Aubusson rug creates visual warmth and historic character when paired with contemporary furniture, anchoring a seating area with soft botanical tones against neutral timber or stone flooring.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush head, employ a quality rug underlay to reduce friction and sliding, rotate the rug periodically for balanced light exposure, and consult a professional restorer for cleaning.
