About the Item

78776 Chinese Tableau The Last Supper Silk Rug, 02'04 x 03'01. Chinese pure silk tableau rugs depicting The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci are often referred to as "The Last Supper silk rugs." These rugs are intricately woven using pure silk threads and feature a detailed depiction of Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting "The Last Supper." The significance of these rugs lies in their artistic craftsmanship, attention to detail, and historical significance as they reproduce one of the most iconic religious artworks in history. The exquisite craftsmanship and intricate design of these fine Chinese silk pictorial rugs make them suitable for display on walls as decorative art pieces or tapestries. The vibrant colors and fine details of the depiction make them visually striking and capable of enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any space they adorn. However, it's important to handle them with care and ensure proper mounting to preserve their beauty and longevity. This exquisite hand-knotted vintage Chinese tableau silk rug is a magnificent depiction of Leonardo da Vinci's iconic masterpiece, "The Last Supper." Measuring around 2 by 3 feet, this silk tableau rug brings to life the famed biblical scene with stunning detail and vibrant colors. Crafted with unparalleled skill and precision, each figure of Christ and his apostles is rendered with remarkable accuracy, capturing the emotion and significance of this momentous event. The use of silk threads adds a luxurious sheen and richness to the depiction, making it a standout piece of art that transcends its medium. The border of the rug is adorned with intricate floral and vine motifs, interwoven with four smaller medallions that feature complementary religious scenes, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. The dark navy background of the border contrasts beautifully with the lighter hues of the central scene, creating a striking visual impact. This intricate framing not only draws the viewer's eye to the central tableau but also adds layers of meaning and context to the primary depiction of "The Last Supper." This tableau rug is not only a testament to the weaver's craftsmanship but also to the cultural exchange between East and West, where Chinese artisans have paid homage to a pivotal piece of Western art history. Perfect as a wall hanging or a centerpiece in a sophisticated decor setting, this rug is more than just a decorative item; it is a piece of history and artistry that tells a story of devotion, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. Its intricate details and the luxurious feel of silk make it a cherished collectible for connoisseurs of fine art and textiles. Abrash. Hand knotted silk. Made in China. Measures: 02'04 x 03'01.
