Status: Sold

A room-size Chinese hand-woven wool rug in the French Aubusson taste. A warm rust/terracotta field is centered by a soft oval floral medallion — a bouquet of roses and foliage in ivory, sage green, lavender, rose and gold — with matching floral clusters at the corners and a scrolling neoclassical floral border, all in the muted, romantic palette associated with Aubusson design. The thick, plush wool pile is hand-carved (sculpted in relief) around the motifs, giving the surface a soft, dimensional, almost embroidered quality characteristic of these decorative Chinese carpets. Finished with ivory fringe. A comfortable, pretty rug for a living or dining room. Measures 8′ × 10’1″.
