Item Description
Vintage Aubusson Carpet
7.04 x 4.84 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 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 ground surrounded by a sky-blue border with shades of grey, the colours of which have all gracefully aged.
A beautiful carpet, which would make a fine addition to any interior. In excellent practical condition.
