Amazing Aubusson - Vintage French Design - Floral Needlepoint Runner - 3' x 12' ft

Size: 3' x 12' ft. - Woven in China, French Design!

All real Aubussons were woven in France. There are two types of French rugs – the napless tapestry like Aubusson rugs, and the thick, hand woven Savonnerie rugs. Most of these Aubusson rugs come with a cream field and have delicate shadings of rose, tan, plum, green, wisteria, blue , and other colors in the design. Usually there is a realistic cluster of roses in the center with others in the corners. The borders are curing, no straight line. Generally the field is a cream or grey. Many of these have come with a great deal of soft old plum or a near-bown color in the borders, corners, and center. 

None have been made in France for over 30 years, except by government subsidy for gifts to foreign governments or for government buildings.
