19th Century French Aubusson Carpet Napoleon III Period
A large convex square central medallion with pointed extenders at the cardinal points rests easily on the lightly decorated salmon field. The ivory narrow border is basically plain with a few flowery additions. Unlike most pieces of the period, this antique French carpet avoids Victorian excess, giving it a light and airy character.
