In 1600’s, in a small town called Aubusson in France, weavers had begun to create carpets and tapestries for royal palaces. In the mid 1700’s when the French crown lent support to Aubusson artisans, the industry flourished. The king commissioned the most famous architects and designers to create works of art which would be interpreted in woven form. As each new monarch came to power, new designs reflected the styles and pastimes of the era. Named after the town of their birth, these hand-woven flat weave carpets became known as Aubusson. Nowadays Aubussons are reproduced in China, done exactly as they were centuries ago in France.
