It is nice to have some old style rugs in your home. The old time Oriental or Persian rugs will bring along with them the atmosphere of wealth and luxury. Such relax feel that they can give you cannot compare with anything else. This type of rugs will even suit the modern design of rooms. The combination of old Oriental rugs and modern furniture looks very great and eclectic.
One sort of old timers is "Aubusson rugs". Aubusson rugs are made in Aubusson. There French rug carpet production has started. In 17th century the first rug based on Persian design was made there. These Persian motifs can still be found in Aubusson rugs.
In the 19th Aubusson rugs have achieved the great quality of production. It was so great that Aubusson rugs started to compete with rugs made in England (in those times the rugs of highest quality were made in England). Aubusson rug were mostly the flat woven carpets.
The common material for making Aubusson rugs was wool. These Aubusson rugs were made for the wealthy European clients. The only competitors of Aubusson rugs were the Savonnerie carpets but the royal producer made them. Only the king was has right to own or sell the Savonnerie carpets - that fact helped Aubusson rugs to develop. Designs and motifs of Aubusson rugs imitated Savonnerie carpets and that made them very popular among wealthy Europeans. Aubusson rugs were the most known rugs in the 17th and the 18th century.
