About the Item
Made with hand-knotted wool circa 1950-1960, this 4x5 antique French tapestry represents a distinguished addition to Rug & Kilim's Tapestry collection—an exceptional example of mid-century French textile design by renowned artist Jean Picart le Doux.
On the Design:
This antique French tapestry showcases Picart le Doux's masterful integration of decorative art and modernist sensibilities through its captivating underwater scene. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the sophisticated composition featuring eight stylized fish swimming through undulating bands of watery currents rendered in varying shades of green. The arrangement of the aquatic forms creates a perfect balance between structured pattern and organic movement. The artist's refined color palette is centered on rich forest and celadon greens for the water, contrasted with vibrant accents of yellow, orange, blue, and black that define the fantastical fish forms. The white wave patterns and scattered bubble dots provide visual counterpoints that enhance the sense of underwater depth and motion.
What distinguishes this piece is its perfect synthesis of decorative charm and artistic sophistication. Picart le Doux, a significant figure in the renaissance of French tapestry art and a collaborator of Jean Lurçat, brings his distinctive graphic sensibility to this composition—creating stylized fish that reference both primitive art forms and modernist abstraction while maintaining their whimsical character. This tapestry embodies the mid-century French commitment to elevating decorative arts to the status of fine art. Its artistic pedigree is confirmed by the artist's signature prominently woven into the lower right corner. As an important example from "l'intérieur d'une collectionneuse" (a collector's interior), this piece represents not only exceptional design but the sophisticated taste culture of post-war France when leading artists turned their attention to textile arts, creating works that bridged functional craft and fine art expression.
Condition:
This antique French tapestry further enjoys good condition for its age and origin—with only mild wear, though still best suited to exclusive use in wall-hanging projects and similar applications.
