    Located in Port Washington, NY
    Aubusson tapestry is tapestry manufactured at Aubusson, in the upper valley of the Creuse in central France.

The industry had probably developed since soon after 1300 in looms in family workshops, perhaps already run by the Flemings that are noted in documents from the 16th century. Aubusson tapestry of the 19th century managed to compete with the royal manufacture of Gobelins tapestry and the privileged position of Beauvais tapestry, although generally regarded as not their equal. As with Flemish and Parisian tapestries...
