APPROX. 30-45 YR OLD CHINESE FRENCH AUBUSSON DESIGN HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUG, 7'8'' x 10': This rug has a striking appearance with its black background setting off the pastel Aubusson floral design. A large rounded beige / ivory central medallion has a center of pastel flowers in rose, green, yellow, and pale pink. Garlands of the same type flowers go all around the field along with smaller garlands of leaves in the same colors. A wide ''broken'' border and seemingly silk highlights accent this lovely rug. There is a letter at one end inscribed in the black edge of the rug, a maker's mark perhaps. Condition is good with wear consistent with age.
