The tradition of Aubusson rugs weaving dates back to the 17th century. They originate from a small town in the Cruse Valley, France. Manufacturing of beautiful rugs was organized there. Aubusson rugs have a fine, formal style. Since the 17th century, they have been revered as one of the greatest carpets in the world.
Suitable with fine antique furnishings, Aubusson rugs have a delicate coloration and a strong Parisian architectural motive. Such carpets have no pile and are woven with a traditional thick-thread tapestry weave. French rugs were made during the 17th - 19th centuries and are very elegant and formal.
Usually, Aubusson rugs represented flat woven rugs. Originally, they were made in pastel colors, with thick pile. Aubusson rugs were manufactured, using very difficult, accurate technique, with mathematical precision. Any carpet, or even a fragment of a carpet, made in the 17th, 18th, or 19th centuries, is extremely valuable.
Since many of Aubusson rugs were woven for wealthy people, they were made in larger sizes to accommodate larger rooms.
