Fantastic 17th Century Elaborately Loomed French Antique Tapestry
About the Item
17th century French Elaborately loomed large tapestry with mountains and castle in background, depicting flushers blowing their horns to flush deer from the forest; hunters on horseback and on foot with staffs, going after deer with long spears, and grand ladies, hunters, and their dogs in foreground. Note men are wearing knee-high boots to enable them to walk through lush foliage. The ladies of the aristocracy are there to observe their noble husbands hunting, the main sport of the aristocracy in their country hunting preserves.
This piece is a collection of a fourth generation, family owned business in New Orleans called The French Antique Shop. The store was first opened by Marie and Marcel Granet in Paris when they married in 1927. A jewish family, they came to the United States before the outbreak of the Second World War, leaving on the last boat out of Paris' port, Le Havre. When they reached New Orleans, they fell in love with the Vieux Carre as it reminded them of home. Their first shop here in New Orleans was located on Chartres Street in the French Quarter and was stocked originally with pieces they had brought with them from Paris. They moved to Royal Street and settled in their present expanded location at 225 Royal Street in 1947. Today, the shop is run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, and his two sons Michael and Brian.
