Ten years after the foundation of Aubusson, the Council of State, by decrees of the 13th February and the 20th November, 1742, regulated the establishment of a manufactory on the same principle as the first, and like it intended to make foot carpets in "point de Turquie;" the contractor was ordered to border his works with a brown band inscribed with the name Feuilletin, to distinguish them from those of Aubusson.

The manufactory must have gone on and prospered, for a fresh decree of the 24th September, 1770, granted new favours to the sieur Vergne to reward him for his foundation; he was permitted amongst other things to substitute a blue band for the brown band of frame-work to avoid all depreciation in the sale of his goods. This same decree compelled the sieurs Roby and La Corre, painters living at Aubusson, to furnish two designs annually to the manufactory of Feuilletin; these designs, says the decree, "shall be in ' verdure ' on grey paper, the plans, animals, backgrounds, horizons and buildings coloured, each in six pieces forming sixteen ordinary ells in length, and two ells and a half high." Each of the designs was to be paid a hundred livres.

Here then is another problem: how did this manufactory, as that which served it as a model, pass from foot carpets to wall tapestries? Where are the productions which, during nearly thirty years, were executed with the marking sign of the brown border? Where are those bordered with brown or blue, inscribed with the name of Feuilletin? It is the task of amateurs to seek for these rarities, which certainly exist.
