The Aubusson design takes its name from the town of Aubusson in central France, which has been a centre of flat-woven tapestry and carpet production since the 17th century. The Aubusson style in pile carpet form is characterised by a soft, open floral composition with a delicate, almost watercolour quality that distinguishes it from the denser formal traditions of Persia. Pakistani weavers produce the Aubusson vocabulary in pure wool on cotton.
The beige ground with rust border at 9 ft 1 in x 12 ft 2 in is warm and light. The open floral composition in soft tones has a European elegance that sits well in formal rooms with classical furnishing. At 256 knots per square inch the floral detail is refined. At this extra large format the piece anchors a significant room.
In your home: For large formal sitting rooms and dining rooms. The beige and rust palette suits classic and transitional interiors. Also works in contemporary rooms where a soft, European-influenced carpet is needed.
