Item Description
Handwoven Modern Aubusson Carpet of Savonnerie Design
4.24 x 3.00 m
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 contemporary recreation of these Aubusson pieces, hand-woven according to the same techniques, with designs characteristic of earlier 18th Century Savonnerie works, in tones of ivory, charcoal grey and ochre salmon pink, with an all-over design that lends the work a feeling of space and balance.
A handsome carpet, to suit a variety of settings.
