About the Item

74749 Vintage Italian Tapestry Swan in the Lake, 03'05 x 05'11. This exquisite vintage Italian jacquard-woven tapestry, titled "Verdure with Pine Tree and Swans," gracefully captures the timeless beauty of a classic French pastoral landscape. Drawing inspiration from the signature verdure style, which flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries, this precious tapestry presents a tranquil scene centered around a serene lake, where a solitary swan glides elegantly across mirrored waters. A graceful stone bridge arcs over the river in the middle distance, leading the eye toward a rustic French country chalet nestled at the forest's edge. Surrounding the lake, a luxuriant array of trees—including majestic pines and weeping willows—creates a rich, textured canopy that evokes the bounty of nature. Dense foliage, flowering shrubs, and meandering paths are rendered with remarkable detail, giving the scene a harmonious balance that invites the viewer to linger within this peaceful, verdant retreat. In the background, soft blue-gray mountains rise gently against a cloud-streaked sky, further enhancing the depth and romanticism of the composition. Executed using refined jacquard weaving techniques, this exclusive Italian tapestry reflects the artistry and precision typical of mid-20th century Italian textile production. The subtle interplay of color and shadow imbues the work with a lifelike dimensionality, echoing the verdure tapestries of Flanders and France. The scene is enclosed by an opulent acanthus leaf border, intricately woven in tones of gold, olive, and muted red, adding an air of classical grandeur that frames the pastoral idyll within. This magnificent Italian tapestry is not merely decorative, but a window into an idealized natural world—a poetic homage to the landscapes of Northern France, filtered through the lens of Italian craftsmanship. Its timeless elegance makes it a versatile addition to interiors that celebrate European heritage, bringing with it a sense of serenity and refined beauty. Abrash. Woven in Italy. Measures: 03'05 x 05'11. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
