Description

This is a beautiful hand knotted Aubusson carpet dating from the early 20th century. Aubusson tapestries were originally created in France at Aubusson in the Creuse area of central France.

The weaving process is carried out manually by a skilled artisan known as a lissier or weaver. The loom used for Aubusson tapestry is positioned horizontally, and the weaver works on the reverse side of the tapestry, meticulously bringing the design to life.

This tapestry carpet has a beautiful colour palette of rich russet, warm sand and ivory. The design is very typical of Aubussons with a central ornate medallion of naturalistic flowers and acanthus scrolls enclosed by spandrels and garland borders.

The carpet is in really excellent ready to use condition. It is a great room size measuring 363 cms by 270 cms

UK delivery is included.

Date of Manufacture

Rams Head Antiques has dated this Room Size Aubusson Carpet to the 1930s.

FAQs

Aubusson carpets are historic flat-weave floor coverings originating from the town of Aubusson in France, dating back to the 17th century when weavers transitioned from tapestry production to carpets influenced by royal workshops.

These pieces are traditionally hand-woven using wool and sometimes silk yarns on a vertical loom, employing a slit-weave technique without a pile, resulting in a flat, durable textile.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun natural fibres, vegetable-based dyes with characteristic ageing, traditional French neoclassical or floral motifs, and characteristic warp and weft tension inconsistencies inherent to historic hand-weaving.

This piece can serve as a sophisticated anchor in a living room or study, pairing well with understated modern upholstery to highlight its intricate classical pattern without overwhelming the space.

Preservation requires professional specialist cleaning only, regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush head, and the use of a breathable underlay to protect the delicate flat-weave structure from friction and wear.
