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.
