Weaving in progress on a Louis XV style carpet in the Manufacture de la Savonnerie, at the Gobelins Manufactory, a historic tapestry workshop, at Le Mobilier National, which commissions and conserves state furniture, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, France. This Louis XV 18th century style carpet is for the platform of the throne room in the Palais de Versailles, replacing the original (now lost) by following a design stored at the Bibliotheque Nationale. The Savonnerie manufactory specialises in weaving velvet rugs, and joined the Gobelins site in 1826. The carpet weaving takes place on vertical looms using knotted lock stitches which are cut to form the velvet surface. Picture by Manuel Cohen
