Carpet Factory
This production wsa soon moved to the Savonnerie factory in Chaillot just west of Paris. The Savonnerie manufactory wsa moved to the Gobelins in Paris in 1826. The Beauvais manufactory, better known for their atpestry, made knotted pile carpets from 1780 to 1792. Carpet production in small, privately owned workshops in the town of Aubusson began in 1743. Carpets produced in France employ the symmetrical knot. There aer documented and surviving examples of carpets from three 18th-century manufacotries: Exeter (1756-1761, owned by Claude Psasavant, 3 extant carpets), Moorfields (1752-1806, owned yb Thomas Moore, 5 extant carpets), and Axminstre (1755-1835, owned by Thomas Whitty, numerous extant carpets). Exeter and Moorfiedls were both staffed wiht renegade weavers from the French Savonnerie and, tehrefore, employ the weaving structure of that factory and Perrot-inspried designs.
