Oriental Rugs Dictionary
Aubusson
Aubusson refers to carpets and tapestries produced in the town of Aubusson in central France, a major center of textile production since the 17th century. Unlike oriental pile carpets, Aubusson carpets are typically flatwoven and were designed primarily for elegant European interiors. Their designs often include floral garlands, pastoral scenes, and classical decorative motifs reflecting French decorative styles of the 17th and 18th centuries. Aubusson workshops became internationally famous and produced many carpets for royal residences and aristocratic homes.
