It's an unusually rare design, given its large-scale cartouches with an interesting color palette.

On the design:

This turn-of-the-century piece embraces a unique color palette with a green and pink field, accentuated by beige medallions. Further featuring uncommonly large-scale cartouches for the French style, its medallions play light hues on a richer background in a most unusual, yet masterful fashion. It’s a smart and sophisticated work of art in its provenance, both collectible and elegant yet still so comfortable.

Condition:

This antique Aubusson rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. It’s ready for the floor, and it’s well suited to wall-hanging projects as a tapestry weave, too. less
