The word Aubusson has become synonymous with a flat-woven French carpet renowned for their elegant, flowing floral patterns. It is this foliate pattern that makes these striking pieces not only an elegant addition to any room but extremely sought after. Now made in China and India, they are hand made in silk and wool, in the old French style. Rugs as fine as the finest Asian rugs allow for the most astonishing shading and detail. Aubusson rugs are expensive because of being handmade but are durable enough to use and enjoy daily. Owning an Aubusson rug remains a symbol of prestige and sophistication.
