IMPORTANT CARPET FROM THE SAINT JEAN D'AUBUSSON MANUFACTORY

Wool velvet on a cotton backing. The central taupe-brown field is adorned with four large compositions of stylised acanthus leaves and branched oak leaves, forming a mirrored or four-quadrant pattern. The colours form an elegant palette combining a tobacco-coloured, understated taupe background with shades of old rose, powder pink and beige. Border: the edge is framed by a double plain selvedge in a deep pink (coral/magenta) which frames and enhances the botanical design. Marked on the reverse in the terminal braid of the border (woven: MSJ AUBUSSON) . The carpet features a symmetrical neoclassical composition, influenced by the Art Deco style or the designs of the great mid-century interior designers (such as André Arbus). Circa 1960–70. Dimensions: 250 x 170 cm. In good overall condition. Expert: Frank Kassapian.

Estimate:£1,671.90
