Aubusson tapestry is characterized by the reproduction of an image, in any style, on a woollen fabric woven by hand on a horizontal loom after preparation by a cartonnier. This craft, which is both costly and time-consuming to produce, has been handed down from generation to generation by a very small number of small companies, ensuring the survival of the industry.<\/p>\n<h2>Greenery, hunting scenes or religious scenes&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>Aubusson tapestries, particularly early works, feature verdant landscapes, sometimes populated by animals or fantastic creatures, depicting hunting scenes or representing scenes inspired by religion. The Tapisseries de Flandres collections feature hangings inspired by the creations of various 18th and 19th century workshops. From the 18th-century &#8220;Halte des Chasseurs&#8221; (Hunters&#8217; Stop), depicting hunters and pretty ladies of the period in a rural, verdant setting; to &#8220;L&#8217;\u00c9l\u00e9phant&#8221;, a 19th-century Aubusson tapestry and graphic representation of an elephant surrounded by tropical nature in an oriental style; to the Fountain of Love (18th century), featuring several characters in a romantic situation, a cartoon by Fran\u00e7ois Boucher; the hangings available here can be made using Point d&#8217;Halluin, Point de Flandres or Point Jacquard techniques.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tapisseriesdeflandres.com\/fr\/recherche?controller=search&amp;orderby=position&amp;orderway=desc&amp;search_query=aubusson&amp;submit_search=\">Our Aubusson tapestries<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>{products:25,173,44,57,213,301}<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Aubusson tapestry woven in Point d&#8217;Halluin or Point de Flandres Since the 15th century, Aubusson, a commune in the Creuse region of France, has been home to a number of weavers&#8217; workshops.
