Training in National Furniture and National Carpet and Tapestry Factories
The Mobilier National and the Manufactures de Tapis et Tapisseries provide comprehensive training in the craft of unicorns and carpet and tapestry restorers.
Unicorns are responsible for weaving carpets and tapestries using traditional methods.
Restorers are responsible for safeguarding carpets and tapestries that may have been damaged by use through specific conservation and restoration techniques.
Unicorns are required to work in the three National Carpet and Tapestry Manufacturers:
- La Manufacture des Gobelins
- The Manufacture of Beauvais
- The Soap Factory
The restaurateurs work in the Carpets and Tapestry Restoration Workshops of the Mobilier National.
