Vintage René Fumeron Pictorial Tapestry “Calypso” Rug & Kilim

About the Item

This 4x6 vintage Aubusson tapestry is a rare and special new curation from Rug & Kilim—a signed mid-century original by French artist Rene Fumneron, entitled “Calypso”, handwoven in wool and originating from France circa 1960-1970. On the Design: "Calypso" is a remarkable composition, with an earth-toned field where undulating bands of brown, tan, and cream create a rhythmic landscape, punctuated by stylized trees with delicate chartreuse foliage that adds organic vitality to the scene. A bold crimson sun and golden moon anchor opposite ends of the composition, while Fumneron's signature treatment of red fish floats through the abstract terrain like musical notes on a score, creating a dreamy, surrealist quality. Admirers of the craft will particularly appreciate the technical virtuosity evident in the precise delineation of the trees, the subtle gradations in the landscape's banding, and the crisp rendering of the fish—all hallmarks of superior Aubusson craftsmanship from this period. It's a piece that perfectly captures the marriage of whimsy and sophistication characteristic of French modernist tapestry design, making it an extremely collectible signature work. Condition: This mid-century French tapestry further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—intended for use in wall-hanging projects only.
