____IN 1989, RENAISSANCE BEGAN CAPTURING THE SPIRIT OF ANTIQUE AUBUSSONS BY METICULOUSLY REVIVING ORIGINAL DESIGNS FROM THE DAYS OF MARIE ANTOINETTE. BY IMPROVING UPON THE FLAT TAPESTRY WEAVE WITH MOTIFS RENDERED IN A PALETTE OF WONDROUS COLORS, FROM THE PALEST TINTS TO DRAMATIC DEEP HUES, WE HAVE CREATED CARPETS THAT ARE NOT ONLY ELEGANT BUT WILL TRULY WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME.

____SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY WEAVERS IN THE TINY FRENCH TOWN OF AUBUSSON CREATED CARPETS AND TAPESTRIES AS ADORNMENTS FOR ROYAL CASTLES. DURING THE FOLLOWING CENTURY, THESE WORKS OF ART FLOURISHED. KINGS COMMISSIONED ARTISTS TO CREATE PAINTINGS WHICH WERE THEN INTERPRETED INTO WOVEN FORM - EACH REIGN EXECUTING NEW DESIGNS TO REFLECT THE STYLES AND TASTE OF THE ERA. TODAY, RENAISSANCE RECREATES THESE WEAVINGS WITH UNPARALLELED CRAFTSMANSHIP, UTILIZING THE ORIGINAL FRENCH TECHNIQUES IN OUR WORKSHOPS IN CHINA.

____UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF FRENCH ARTISTS AND TECHNICIANS WITH DEEP ROOTS IN CARPET MANUFACTURING, RENAISSANCE AUBUSSONS IMPROVE UPON THE ORIGINALS BY OFFERING A FINER AND MORE DURABLE CARPET. THEY ARE TIGHTLY HAND-WOVEN WITH CAREFUL PRECISION FROM THE FINEST MULTIPLY NEW ZEALAND WOOL. OUR COLORATIONS MEET THE HIGH DEMANDS OF TODAY'S MOST DISCERNING DECORATORS IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET, OFTEN BECOMING THEIR INSPIRATION FOR MANY GREAT ROOMS. DEPICTING LIFELIKE IMAGES OF FLOWERS, FRUITS, MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, AND ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, THESE AUBUSSONS ARE EQUALED IN BEAUTY ONLY BY THEIR ANTIQUE PREDECESSORS.

____THROUGH UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP, EXCEPTIONAL ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND REMARKABLE COLOR, RENAISSANCE HAS METICULOUSLY BLENDED THE OLD WITH THE NEW, TO RECREATE ENDURING WORKS OF HAND-WOVEN ART. TO MEET THE SPECIAL NEEDS OF ANY ARCHITECTURAL SETTING, OUR ACCOMPLISHED DESIGN STAFF CAN CREATE ONE-OF-A-KIND MASTERPIECES TO UNIQUELY SUIT ANY DÉCOR.
