Rug weaving in Belgium

Though the people of Flanders were the world's most skillful and famous weavers of tapestries and laces, they are not as noted for their floorcoverings.

Probably some tapestry rugs, similar to the French Aubusson, were made but none remain.

Belgium's chief contribution to the modern carpet industry is her invention of the Brussels weave, sometime before the middle of the eighteenth century.
