Handwoven Modern Aubsson Carpet of Savonnerie Design

About the Item

The town of Aubusson has long since been famous for the high quality of its textiles, its reputation stretching back as far as the 14th Century, as a centre of Medieval tapestry weaving. In the 17th Century, its workshops were given ‘Royal Appointment’ status, commissioned to produce elaborate carpets for the French Court, well-known for their tight weaves and lustrous wool. This piece is a contemporary recreation of these Aubusson pieces, hand-woven according to the same techniques, with designs characteristic of earlier 18th Century Savonnerie works, in tones of ivory, charcoal grey and ochre salmon pink, with an all-over design that lends the work a feeling of space and balance. A handsome carpet, to suit a variety of settings.

    Antique Donegal Carpets, woven in the town of Killybegs, County Donegal, from the 1890s onwards, represent some of the most unique and highly sought-after European weavings - originally, a Western interpretation of earlier Turkish Oushak carpets, incorporating a wide array of design elements borrowed from both the Arts and Crafts movement and traditional Celtic art.
