Antique Aubusson French Medallion Geometric Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1930 Attributed To André Arbus BB8405 8'9" × 8'9" $28,000

This antique round Aubusson rug, made in France circa 1930 and attributed to André Arbus, reflects the refined geometric language of French interwar design. Its light beige ground gives the piece a calm, architectural presence, while the circular format softens the rigor of the composition.

At the center, a crisp starburst medallion sits within a bold ring, set inside a hexagonal framework that reads like a modernized classical plan. Broad bands, slender outlines, and evenly spaced circular accents create a balanced rhythm across the field. Soft lavender-gray lines and warm golden beige notes sharpen the design without disturbing its restrained palette.

The result is a French antique rug that feels formal yet airy, ideal for rooms where structure matters as much as decoration. Its clear geometry and open background allow furniture to sit neatly around it, making it especially effective in salons, dining rooms, and contemporary interiors drawn to Art Deco clarity.
