Story Behind The Art: Aubusson rugs take their name from the French town of Aubusson, long celebrated for its tapestry and carpet weaving. These rugs are typically flatwoven or knotted and showcase refined European design elements such as acanthus leaves, scrollwork, floral garlands, and medallions. Inspired by neoclassical and Rococo art, Aubussons became symbols of French elegance in the 18th and 19th centuries. Their soft palettes—think muted greens, pinks, and ivory—add a touch of old-world grace to interiors. Though originally French, many are now woven in countries like China and India, where skilled artisans continue the tradition.
