History
The Aubusson rug takes its name from the French town of Aubusson, a small town situated close to the mountains of the Massif Central and lying on the banks of the River Creuse. At one time, this town was the center of Europe's rug manufacturing industry.
The production of Aubusson rugs is thought to have begun in the seventeenth century and was carried out by a group of skilled, independent weavers who each followed the specific design and style of the Aubusson technique. This involves interlacing the carpets using a thick-thread weave on large looms to create a flat tapestry with no pile. Dating back to the 1600's and 1700's, Aubusson rugs are widely regarded as one of the most significant designs to come out of Europe.
