The designs are strictly classical, neo-classical, or Victorian. They are virtually never “oriental”. The pattern wefts are wool with silk and/or metal thread for details in the more finely woven examples. Sizes tend toward the squarish and pieces 30’ by 30’ are not unknown. The 18th and 19th-century French clients included the nobility and Haute bourgeoisie. Aubusson carpets were also exported to England and are often to be found in country houses. Light colors are the most popular and dark-toned pieces are very rare. Besides traditional Louis furniture, try an Aubusson with the most modern décor; it might surprise you. This light, airy Aubusson small carpet has matching central and corner rose bouquets. The double elliptical leafy wreaths are spaced to give a sense of informality. The corner bosses are ae equally open. The narrow monochrome border is barely noticeable.

The colors are all-natural and have mellowed from what originally were sharper brighter tones.

This Aubusson is a study in greens, especially pistachio, restful and precise, calming and yet rigorous.
