Originally based on Turkish design, in the late 1600s Aubusson rug designs started to replicate the motifs of Savonnerie rugs favoured by the King, however, thanks to the Aubusson weavers, they became available to others in the aristocracy of Europe.
Although Aubusson production stopped around the 1870s, today skilled weavers in China replicate these lovely designs and they retain their quintessential French look which makes them ideal if you are looking for that shabby chic or French farmhouse style look at home.
FrithRugs Aubusson collection feature luxurious designs created in mellow pastels in 100% pure wool and hand stitched in China. Available in a range of sizes, the collection will be appreciated by the discerning home owner who appreciates the finer things in life.
