Product Details

The Aubusson rug has a blend of Indian and French styles. Aubusson is a town in France that is located near the Massif Central mountains. These mountains have been the inspiration for the local carpet weavers for making depictions on their carpet patterns. The Aubusson rugs were created by the skilled artisans of Varanasi, who combined the authentic design of original Aubusson carpet and blended it with Indian patterns to create something unique.
