Hand-woven in wool, this 11x15 antique French Aubusson carpet originating circa 1920-1929 is a majestic triumph of European textile artistry. Centered around a peach-toned oval medallion featuring regal swan motifs, an intricate lattice field, and a classic Greek key border, it radiates neoclassical grace and poetic grandeur. On the Design: Celebrated since the 16th century and elevated under royal patronage, the French town of Aubusson became synonymous with world-class flatweave tapestries and carpets. During the 1920s, French ateliers revisited classical Empire and Directoire iconography. Revival of romantic motifs like heraldic swans, Greek key fretwork, and geometric trellis fields with softened luminous pastel palettes for early 20th-century aristocratic interiors were appreciated and brought into effect. This handwoven rug stands as an extraordinary artifact of that revival, blending classical nobility with timeless decorative warmth. The layout centers on a sweeping, salmon-peach oval medallion anchored by a sunburst rosette framed within a sculpted acanthus wreath. Crowned at top and bottom are two majestic swans in powder blue, their outstretched wings rendered in exquisite pictorial detail. Surrounding this central focal point is an expansive, soft sage-green field woven with a geometric lattice pattern, punctuated at every intersection by salmon-red starburst dots. A structured Greek key border in rust and salmon grounds the inner field, while an outer ivory border overflowing with trailing tulip vines brings a soft, garden-inspired frame to the perimeter. This antique Aubusson carpet provides a commanding, museum-worthy foundation for grand dining halls, classical living rooms, or curated historic estates. Condition: This oversized antique Aubusson rug is in good condition for its age and origin.
