Antique Aubusson-Style Pictorial Tapestry - Urn, Tendril and Crowned Lion Motifs

About the Item

An unusual aubusson-style tapestry wall hanging comprising 8 panels with recurring lion, urn and floral motifs on a pale blue field with a passementeire border and cotton backing. While the colors of the tapestry have faded somewhat over time, the remaining color is quite vibrant and distinctive. The variety of colors, including shades of blue, brown, yellow, red, pink and green, could be chaotic but the execution of each panel creates a pleasing symmetry. The textile has been professionally cleaned and conserved. Dimensions: 58"w x 53"h Condition: Good. Some color fading and an area of discolouration (see photographs). Stitching is intact. Shows well.

  • Vintage Moroccan Blue Kilim Rug with Geometric Border and Two Diamond Lozenges
    Located in Morristown, NJ
    Antique early 20th century Moroccan Kilim rug, with two central diamond medallions, made in simple flat-woven or tapestry technique, in which the pattern is produced by horizontal wefts that cover the vertical warps. The ground is a denim blue color with browns, greens, beiges, pinks and blues woven into the border decoration and diamond medallions. The desire for the ‘exotic’ rug family in Western culture played no small part in the entrance of Moroccan style to the world stage and the gradual western influence on the style we see today. Given their thinner, supple structure, Kilim rugs are usable not only as decorative floor covering, but also as wall hangings and on furniture or bed coverlets...
