An Aubusson rug is a flat woven wool rug made in the French tapestry tradition: it has no pile, it is woven entirely by hand, colour by colour, and it carries the soft floral and medallion designs of 18th century French interiors.
Every rug here is new and never used, and each one is one of a kind: when a design sells, it is gone. They were hand woven in China from 100% wool, decades ago, and are no longer in production.
Yes. Every rug in this collection is brand new and has never been used. They were woven decades ago and are no longer in production, and each one is one of a kind.
They were hand woven in China from 100% wool, in the Aubusson tapestry technique. The workshop label says it uses more than sixty shades of wool, and that a team of designers and weavers takes over a year to complete a carpet.
An Aubusson is woven like a tapestry, so the surface is smooth and thin rather than plush. Chairs slide over it easily in a dining room, doors clear it, and it shows fine drawing that a knotted pile would blur.
Room sizes from about 8x10 to 12x16, mostly 9x12. Each listing gives the exact measured size.
Living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms with traditional, French or transitional furniture. The pale grounds and soft pinks, blues and greens also calm a modern room with a lot of wood and stone.
Vacuum without a beater bar, rotate it once or twice a year, use a thin non slip pad, and have spills professionally cleaned. Keep it out of strong direct sun to protect the colours.
