Early 19th Century French Wall Hanging Handwoven Aubusson Tapestry

About the Item

This colorful, antique tapestry was hand woven in Aubusson, France, circa 1820. The wall hanging piece depicts a woman feeding a bowl of soup to a youngster; the art work is embellished with a trompe l'oeil Baroque framed woven border around the composition. The tapestry is signed on the bottom right with the initials D.LE. The piece is in good condition commensurate with age and use, with an interesting scene and rich colors in a red, green and beige palette. There's a new canvas backing and the fringe trim at the bottom can easily be removed. Aubusson, a town on the river Creuse in central France, became a center of tapestry manufacture in the 17th and 18th centuries during the reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XV; Aubusson became the source for the aristocracy, hence the typically monumental sizes of Aubusson rugs and tapestries. Employing a method known as "warping" and executed on a low horizontal loom, the weavers of Aubusson were able to create an illusion of depth in their works. Aubusson textiles are also usually identified by their stylized framing motifs and neoclassical themes. Measures: 29" W x 53" H.
