Aubusson tapestries

The Oxford Dictionary of Art | 2004 | | Copyright

Aubusson tapestries. Tapestries produced at Aubusson in central France. Production of tapestries began there in the 16th century and its greatest period was the second half of the 18th century, when large quantities of hangings and furniture coverings were woven with pastoral and chinoiserie designs by Oudry, Boucher, and Huet. During the 19th century skilful reproductions of earlier pieces were made, and in the 20th century it was in the forefront of modern tapestry design, notably through the work of Jean Lurçat.
