• Aubusson is a city in France that is known for its exquisite tapestries and carpets. Local lore has it that the origins of its history as a weaving center was established when weavers from Flanders were forced to take refuge there around 1580. Since that time, the looms at Aubusson developed an artistic style that is unique and easily recognizable. Their favorite subjects were scenery and elegant floral pattern, such as this piece.
• This piece is recognizably an Aubusson that uses softer pinks and pastels, which is a hallmark of Aubusson works. This carpet is a finely woven tapestry. It has a backing to protect it from wear. The design has a Rococo feel with its sweeping curves, scrollwork, and trompe l’oeil floral patterns. Curvy, natural forms are a characteristic of late Baroque and Victorian design.
• This carpet would be perfectly at home in a formal room with gilding, elegant antique furniture, and brocades throughout. It has a classic feel that is refined and elegant. It also has an aged look that gives it a shabby elegance feel, too. Romance pink and millennial pink are among the most popular color trends this year. This carpet would be the perfect match for these modern color trends.
• This carpet is refined, calm, and gracious. The floral elements introduce elements of an outdoor garden into the interior space, making it feel light and refreshing. This gorgeous antique would look beautiful in a historic home, but it would also make the perfect complement to a contemporary design style, too. Carpets from the looms of Aubusson have a transcendent quality that has often been imitated, but there is nothing as breathtaking as an original.
