The parlor set in the tapestry style have lovely detailed rose and vine shapes throughout, with a rich blue main field and cream-painted carved wood supports. The top of the chair, top middle of the three-seater settee, and one of the pillows also share a design of a woman with a basket and large hat, her back turned and trees and buildings in the distance. The other pillows have somewhat similar floral patterns, and one has a white field instead of blue.

Aubusson style refers to a luxurious, flat-woven textile tradition originating from the French town of Aubusson, characterized by pastel-toned, neoclassical, and baroque designs. Primarily producing rugs, carpets, and tapestries, this style features central medallions, floral garlands, architectural scrolls, and romantic, painterly motifs, often imitating Savonnerie carpets.
