The enterprise began with a dyeing factory on the outskirts of Paris, founded in the middle of the 15th century byJean GobelinandPhilibert Gobelin. The family business flourished, and at the beginning of the 17th century, King of France Henry IV turned the enterprise into a tapestry factory run by Flemish weavers.
Luxury products of the Gobelins factory became so famous that in 1662 this establishment was taken over by the Minister of Finance of King Louis XIV,Jean Baptiste Colbert, and became a part of the Royal Furniture Manufacture. Colbert commissioned a French artistCharles Le Brunto lead, and he commissioned works from the finest artists of the time, setting high standards of performance and encouraging the training of new artisans.
