About the Item

The french mirrors are Aubusson tapestry cartoon mirrors painted in gouache on paper. Tapestry cartoons are the life size models from which tapestries are woven, painted in oil on canvas or gouache on paper.
The history of Aubusson textiles dates back to the 14th century. The town of Aubusson is located in the La Marche area of France and it became renown for its famous and destinctive tapestries and textiles that reflected the height of contemporary design. Aubusson designs reflected a great diversity in themes, including depictions of religious, pastoral, and floral patterns.
Aubusson textiles were highly prized from the 17th century onward for their exceptional quality and grand designs. The colour palette of Aubusson designs tended to be more subdued compared to Savonnerie examples, and the patterns often featured elaborate floral garlands and bold central medallions.
The Aubusson floral mirrors create an exceptional pair that carries the beauty and signifance of this particular type of French design.

- Pair of Large 18th Century French Boiserie Overdoor PaintingsLocated in Dallas, TXOnce installed architecturally in a chateau in Normandy, France, this large pair of overdoors was painted in the 1700s and executed in a technique known as verdaille. Verdaille utilizes various shades of green to achieve a mesmerizing monochromatic effect. This technique’s rich history traces back to the 12th century when it was initially employed to create stained glass for Cistercian monasteries, where colorful art was prohibited, making these overdoors not only aesthetically captivating but also a piece of living art history. Interestingly, there is a hand-written transport note on the back of one of the overdoors (see detail photo) that mentions the paintings were to be shipped to a Madame DeFrance in Paris, at the rue St. Honore corner of la rue Dufour (freight pre-paid). These exquisite pieces are encompassed by wood frames adorned with lavish foliate carvings, beautifully painted in a soothing French gray hue. Each overdoor encapsulates a unique musical scene that transports you to the heart of 18th-century Europe. In the first painting, a man plays the uilleann pipe, a unique instrument with a bellow-driven mechanism that distinguishes it from a bagpipe. The musician has quite an audience, as two women, one cradling a sheep, and four more sheep next to a dog have gathered nearby. In the second painting, witness a captivating moment of courtship as a gentleman kneels before a woman with a tambourine in her hands. He presents a long woodwind instrument, possibly a carnyx, while a faithful dog rests nearby amidst a backdrop of gardening tools. These stunning French verdaille overdoors were once part of a themed boiserie room (most likely green in color and centered around music). They can once again be used to create a theme above a pair of interior doors or they can be hung as a unique set of artwork.Category
