Aubusson Furniture

AUBUSSON STYLE

Although the production of authentic Aubusson textiles and other furniture is based in Aubusson, France, and at just a handful of small weaving workshops in nearby Felletin, the exceptionally detailed tapestries are renowned throughout the world as wall hangings, carpets and upholstery for a range of seating including sofas and armchairs.

Aubusson’s centuries-old tapestry production industry was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009 by UNESCO, affirming its importance in European decorative arts. The complex and labor-intensive process of weaving images involves hand-dyed wool to achieve specific hues, giving landscapes, scenes and floral patterns a distinctive realism.

Dating back at least to the 16th century, the Aubusson style has changed over time, with early work influenced by Turkish rugs that were popular with the European elite before the rise of the Italian Renaissance with its natural motifs. In 1665, the Aubusson workshops received the Manufacture Royale title, raising their visibility in France and beyond during the 17th century, with many authentic Aubusson tapestries produced for royal palaces and other prominent residences.

In the 18th century, the design of Aubusson textiles reflected the fad for chinoiserie. During the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century, artisans from Aubusson were involved with the Old Windsor Tapestry Manufactory in England. In the 20th century, now-iconic artists such as Alexander Calder and Joan Miró worked with Aubusson weavers on pieces.

The Cité Internationale de la Tapisserie complex, which features a museum, opened in 2016 in Aubusson to recognize and preserve this heritage.

Joan Miro, Artistic Rug, Danseuse Espagnole
Located in Paris, FR
Joan Miró "Danseuse Espagnole" Design made in 1928, tapestry manufactured in 1960 Handwoven Wool Tapestry 81 x 60 in 'MIRO' signature woven on reverse Woven by Marie Cuttoli's Parisian Galerie for Galerie Lucie-Weill Seligmann in Paris Joan Miró was a versatile artist who explored many mediums, including painting, sculpture and ceramics. But one of the most interesting mediums he used was textile art. Miró created several rugs and fabrics throughout his career, which helped expand his unique aesthetic into new territory. Miró’s work often included abstracted figures, stars, moons, and other celestial bodies, which he used to create a visual language that was both personal and universal. He frequently incorporated found objects and materials into his work, such as rope, pebbles, and twigs. Miró’s work has been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries around the world, and he is considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. “Danseuse Espagnole," or "Spanish Dancer," was a design created by Joan Miró in 1928. This textile artwork is hand-woven with high-quality wool threads. The composition of the dancer is simple and expressive, with bold geometric shapes and vibrant colors typical of Miro’s style. The dancer is depicted in a dynamic posture, with legs apart and arms raised, evoking Spanish flamenco. The “DANSEUSE ESPAGNOLE” is considered one of the most iconic examples of Miro’s textile...
