History~
Carpet production in France almost came to a complete halt during the turmoil of the French Revolution. The revolutionaries felt that woven carpets were luxury items affordable only by the nobility. Existing carpets, especially those commissioned by Louis XIV for the Grande Galerie, were used by the Directoire for themselves, after cutting out any royal emblems, and as repayment of debts incurred by the Revolution. However, Napoleon felt differently. The decree of 28 Florail XII (1803), allowed Napoleon to use the royal palaces once again, thereby creating an atmosphere where carpet workshops could flourish, recapturing the glory of earlier days.
The style of drawing and many of the motifs, such as the tight acanthus scrolls around rosettes and dense floral bouquets of the present carpet, recall the work of Jacques-Louis de la Hamayde de Saint-Ange-Desmaison, known simply as Saint-Ange (1780-1860). Saint-Ange was probably the most influential carpet designer during the late Empire and Restauration period. After studying with the French designers Percier and Fontaine he eventually became the main designer for the Mobilier Imperial designing not only carpets but even porcelain for Sevres. The designs of Saint-Ange, among the era's most popular, were commonly emulated by other designers and manufacturers including Aubusson, Sallandrouze and Beauvais.
Aubusson is a town in Central France on the Creuse River. It has been world renowned throughout the centuries for the weaving of fine carpets and tapestries.
Though most Antique Aubusson carpets were made during the mid 18th century, its origins date back to around 1580 when weavers from Flanders (now Belgium) took refuge in Aubusson.
Custom designed; flat weave Aubusson carpets were greatly commissioned by Louis XV, Louis XVI, and Napoleon the I for their castles in large sizes.
Aubusson carpets represent true timeless elegance. They are widely sought after by leading interior designers and consumers for their soft coloration and graceful romantic designs.

Antique French Aubusson Rug, circa 1890, 8' x 9'
Located in New York, NY
Antique French Aubusson rug, circa 1890. Aubusson carpets are pile less and tapestry woven from that town to the southwest of Paris, by a group of independent weavers working under Royal or State protection. The designs are strictly classical, neoclassical or Victorian. They are virtually never “oriental”. The pattern wefts are wool with silk and/or metal thread for details in the more finely woven examples. Sizes tend toward the squarish and pieces 30’ by 30’ are not unknown. The 18th-19th century French clients included the nobility and haute bourgeoisie. Aubusson carpets were also exported to England and are often to be found in country houses.
