This is a vintage one-of-a-kind 9'0" x 12'0" Rectangle rug, flatweave in wool in China in the 1980s. Vintage Aubusson with an all-over garden design. Large red and blue blossoms on curling green acanthus leaves repeat across an ivory field, inside a border of rolling green leaves and a striped edge of blue, red and lilac. Bright, fresh and unusually bold for an Aubusson. Hand woven in China, circa 1980. Hand woven in the Aubusson tapestry technique: a flat weave made entirely by hand, colour by colour, the same way carpets were woven in Aubusson, France in the 18th century. 100% wool, with no pile and no latex. Carpets from this workshop carry a label stating they use more than sixty shades of wool and take a team of designers and weavers over a year to complete. Brand new and never used, yet vintage: it was woven decades ago and is no longer in production. Rare and one of a kind. Hand woven Aubussons of this size and detail are seldom offered. We have exactly one, and when it sells it cannot be reordered. Room size 9' x 12' (actual size 9' x 12'1). Flat and thin, so doors clear it and chairs slide easily, which makes it a natural choice under a dining table, in a bedroom or in a formal living room. Light enough to hang as a tapestry. Bound and finished by hand. Use a rug pad to keep it in place, vacuum without a beater bar, and have it professionally cleaned. Ships rolled from our Deer Park, New York warehouse.
