Aubusson Design Rug N11934 13'10" × 19'3" $14,000

Although presently made, this exceptional rug draws richly from the centuries-old Aubusson weaving tradition. Its design combines the 18^th century influences in terms of construction with the geometric dynamism of Art Deco and pastel colors of the mid-20^th century. The main field carries an energetic pattern of oblique rhombuses embraced by a thick border of regular diamonds with four corner spandrels. The composition is complemented by a lively mixed palette of muted shades including carmine, orange, rust, fuchsia, taupe, mauve, various blues, greens and beiges.

The execution of this outstanding contemporary rug was conducted in accordance with the highest standards of the weaving craft. Careful hand-knotting of the finest wool resulted in a durable and pleasant to the touch structure. Under proper maintenance, this Aubusson design rug will withstand many years of usage looking as if it just came down from the looms. It has the potential to make a statement in a wide variety of interior decors.
