Golden Pheasant Aubusson Pillow, "Aubusson" is an ancient weaving style which developed in the Aubusson region of France. rather than weaving each thread all the way across the width of the roll, with an Aubusson, shorter threads are woven in to form the patterns.
The Aubusson method allows for the weaving of especially intricate patterns. This example is an Golden Pheasant Aubusson Pillow, an excellent decorative throw pillow with onion fringe. Decorative pillows show Aubusson weaving off nicely, since you can see the "wrong side" through an open zipper. Golden Pheasant on this Aubusson Pillow faces right. 20x20 approximate inches.
