SEMI-ANTIQUE INDO AUBUSSON HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUG, 8' 4'' x 11' 6'': This rug has a traditional French Aubusson design with its open ivory colored field surrounding a large oval medallion done in soft pastel shades of blue, green, pink, yellow, and beige. A center of flowers is outlined by bands of blue, beige and green and there are repeating drops of flowers at either end of the medallion. The oval design is continued with a blue and yellow edge to the field. The main ivory ground border completes the design with a looping band of leaves that look like a valance to a drapery. The clear colors and well-drawn designs of this rug make it look like it would fit right in to a Paris Salon of yesteryear.
CONDITION: There is some slight soiling visible in the ivory field.
