A handwoven contemporary Aubusson carpet, featuring design characteristics of 18th Century French Savonnerie carpets.
ABOUT
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.
