France, twentieth century.Aubusson's carpets, tapestries and tapestries have been known since the Middle Ages. The first mention of carpet weaving in this region dates back to the 8th century, and during the Renaissance, in 1665, as a result of the merger of the workshops of Aubusson and Felletin, the Royal Tapestry Manufactory appeared - an enterprise that made tapestry production famous throughout the world. Mythological and biblical subjects, romantic and pastoral scenes were the main themes of the images. During the time of Louis in France, the products of the manufactory were highly valued, because carpets and tapestries were a symbol of luxury and were an obligatory part of the interior of the royal chambers. After the French Revolution, the production of tapestries stopped, and some of the technology was lost. But at the beginning of the twentieth century, interest in traditions and national roots grew - and the French began to revive lost technologies. Manufactories began to create tapestries with images of modern works, as well as reproductions of ancient tapestries.
