AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beijing Aubusson Savonnerie rug, made between 1960 and 1980, fully hand-knotted in wool and silk on cotton and signed by the master weaver.
This elegant piece belongs to the high-end Chinese Aubusson production, renowned for its extremely tight weave, fine and dense pile, and the generous use of silk in the decorative motifs, which gives a characteristic golden sheen.
The rug features a compact, heavy structure, indicative of high knot density and excellent quality materials. The classic Savonnerie-inspired floral design is executed on a smooth surface (no pile relief), with silk details finely integrated into the wool.
Condition: very good.
No breaks or unraveling.
It only has a small light stain in one corner (visible in photos).
Professional cleaning by a rug specialist is recommended to properly preserve the silk and dyes. It should not be cleaned by domestic methods.
