About the Item

73014 Antique French Silk Aubusson Tapestry, 05'00 x 07'00. French Aubusson tapestries are exquisite handwoven textiles originating from the town of Aubusson in central France. Crafted using traditional tapestry techniques, these tapestries are made from fine materials such as wool, silk, and metallic threads, chosen for their durability and ability to hold intricate designs. Characterized by elaborate scenes from mythology, history, or nature, Aubusson tapestries exhibit a distinctive style marked by harmonious colors, intricate patterns, and meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. Highly versatile, these tapestries are used as decorative wall hangings, upholstery fabric, or room dividers, prized for their beauty, craftsmanship, and historical significance. Dating back to the 1860s, this exceptional piece stands as a testament to the exquisite artistry of antique French Aubusson silk tapestries. Reflecting the rich heritage of Aubusson craftsmanship, this tapestry showcases intricate details and timeless elegance that have captivated rug enthusiasts for over two centuries. Serving as a stunning wall display, its top center is adorned with a resplendent rose garland couronne crown, while long ties entwined with foliage gracefully cascade to tassel ends on either side. At the heart of the design, a large central cartouche brims with beautiful roses overflowing from a basket, surrounded by intricately stitched foliage and roses that add to its allure. Though bearing the expected signs of wear, particularly on the silk backing, the hand-worked appliqué remains remarkably intact, underscoring the enduring craftsmanship of this piece. Despite centuries of use, its historic significance far surpasses any damage incurred over time, serving as a poignant reminder of its journey through history. Indeed, this tapestry exudes an undeniable aura of timeworn charm, making it a divine discovery for those who appreciate treasures of the past. Whether gracing the walls of a formal setting adorned with elaborate furnishings or nestled within the opulent ambiance of an Ottoman-style interior, this garden verdure tapestry breathes vibrant life into any space it adorns, inviting admiration and awe from all who behold its splendor.
