Magnificent large Aubusson rug, made in France in the second half of the 19th century, the Arts & Crafts period (ca. 1860/1870). A highly decorative piece, it features a refined, deep burgundy ground, embellished with a rich polychrome floral border and an elegant central medallion composed of stylized plant and flower motifs.

The rug fully reflects the aesthetic of the Arts & Crafts movement, which arose as a reaction to industrialization and aimed to restore artisanal quality, the harmony of natural forms, and the excellence of materials. During this period, Aubusson production was distinguished by the delicacy of its floral designs, the balance of its compositions, and the use of deep yet sophisticated colors, inspired by nature and the romantic gardens of the era.

Ideal as a centerpiece for a large living room, library, or reception area, this rug combines historical value, artistic quality, and a powerful presence, making it perfect for both classic interiors and contemporary spaces seeking a touch of character and authenticity.
