Belgian manufacturers mastered power-loomed and tufted techniques to recreate the dense textures and complex color gradations of original French palace textiles. This rug is heavily inspired by the historic Aubusson tapestries and flatweaves of 18th-century France. Originally commissioned by French royalty for palaces like Versailles, the style is defined by its architectural layout, central medallions, and pastoral floral swags.
