This hand-woven flat weave joins the European Collection by Rug & Kilim—this design paying homage to Aubusson Kilim patterns of renown in the history of hand-made European carpet traditions. Additionally exceptional in this piece is the emphasis on cartouche patterns in the floral field design, typically relegated to the meandering borders of 17th-19th Century Aubusson rugs with exception found in distinctive inspirations similar to this 18th-Century Aubusson style; a very regal, graceful play of a rich red and gold with a neoclassical juxtaposition of cream and blue notes in the geometry. The columns created in the repetition bring out the attention to the stylistic definition in the European floral patterns and the skillful movement and control born through the seamless transition of color through the graph; a remarkable array of the ideal traits celebrated in the Aubusson flat weave family. Originating from one of our most reputed long-standing partners looms in China. This Aubusson features additional sizes and colorway variations in stock, with further custom capabilities available upon inquiry. About the collection: Equal to any pillar of our collections, our European category encompasses some of Josh’s favorite selections reflecting time-honored and contemporary designs from as early as the 17th Century and onward. The consistent popularity of French Aubusson pieces has always influenced our antique collection with some of the finest rarities, as well as our modern and contemporary inspirations blending the style with Josh’s signature approach. Our additional admiration for Tudor Neo-Classical, and Arts & Crafts design elements led us to an ample collection of Tudor and Art Deco inspirations with the same enthusiasm, and the response from designers and decorators alike has spoken volumes to the growing potential of these and other lines in our European Collection, including treasures from Ireland, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain and more.
