About the Item

Antique Tapestry Rug in Wool and Cotton 11'9x9'2 Key Details: Pile: Wool Foundation: Cotton Origin: Tapestry Design: Pictorial Approximate Age: 16th century Quality (KPI): 300 Condition: Good Dimension: 11'9x9'2 Inventory Number: 5983 Signature: Yes 16th-century French tapestries are intricate, woven artworks that reflect the Renaissance period’s cultural and artistic achievements in France. During this time, tapestry weaving became a highly regarded craft, often commissioned by royalty, nobility, and wealthy patrons to adorn the walls of palaces, castles, and churches. These tapestries typically feature scenes from mythology, history, religion, or everyday life, with highly detailed depictions of nature, animals, and figures. The designs often include elaborate borders and rich color palettes, with fine threads made from silk, wool, and sometimes gold or silver for added luxury. Notable tapestry workshops, such as those in Paris and the Gobelins factory, became famous for their craftsmanship. The scenes woven into these tapestries often told stories or celebrated important events, and the large-scale pieces were both decorative and functional, providing insulation for cold stone walls. 16th-century French tapestries are highly valued for their artistic detail, historical significance, and the skill involved in their creation. They remain important cultural treasures, representing the craftsmanship and aesthetics of the Renaissance era in France.

Antique French Tapestry Area Rug 8'7" x 11'4"
Located in New York, NY
Tapestry is a form of textile art, traditionally woven by hand on a loom. Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible. In tapestry weaving, weft yarns are typically discontinuous; the artisan interlaces each colored weft back and forth in its own small pattern area. It is a plain weft-faced weave having weft threads of different colors worked over portions of the warp to form the design. Most weavers use a natural warp thread, such as wool, linen or cotton. The weft threads are usually wool or cotton but may include silk, gold, silver, or other alternatives. The success of decorative tapestry can be partially explained by its portability (Le Corbusier once called tapestries...
