Contemporary Aubusson Carpet
SKU
RT4933249
The town of Aubusson has long since been famous for the high quality of its textiles, its reputation stretching back as far as the 14th Century, as a centre of Medieval tapestry weaving. In the 17th Century, its workshops were given ‘Royal Appointment’ status, commissioned to produce elaborate carpets for the French Court, well-known for their tight weaves and lustrous wool.
This piece is a late 20th Century recreation of these Aubusson pieces, hand-woven according to the same techniques, featuring a wonderfully crisp floral design, worked over an ivory and sky blue field, in an understated palette with deep aubergine accents.
A beautiful carpet, which would make a fine addition to any interior.
