Aubusson carpet, usually of considerable size, handwoven at the villages of Aubusson and Felletin, in the département of Creuse in central France. Workshops were established in 1743 to manufacture pile carpets primarily for the nobility, to whom the Savonnerie court production was not available. Aubusson carpets were, however, also made for the royal residences. Soon after the production of carpets began at Aubusson, the pileless tapestry technique previously in use in this district was adopted for so many of the carpets that the word Aubusson has become synonymous with a flat-woven French carpet, and it is not generally realized that piled rugs in numbers have been made there.

? Choosing the right rug can transform your living room!

• Size matters: Make sure your rug fits the seating area all furniture legs should rest on it or at least the front legs.
• Style & color: Pick a rug that complements your furniture. Neutral rugs work well for bold furniture, while colorful rugs add vibrancy to neutral rooms.
• Material: For high-traffic areas, choose durable materials like wool or synthetic fibers.
• Texture: Plush rugs add warmth, while flat-weave rugs are easier to maintain.
