cabochons
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Architecture
Housing
The context is an architectural / construction / design firm who describes various houses they have built and decorated.
"La chaleureuse terre cuite faite main ou de récupération patinée déclinée dans différent formats, en tapis avec cabochons."
It is the last phrase I don't understand.
Any help would be appreciated!
