This Aubusson carpet, woven in France between 1814 and 1830, is a striking example of the intricate craftsmanship of the renowned Aubusson workshops. The carpet features a central medallion surrounded by stylized floral motifs and ornate scrollwork, all set against a rich green background. The border, with its repeating pattern of delicate flowers, adds a layer of elegance and refinement. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this carpet is a testament to the enduring beauty and artistry of French textile traditions.
