About the Item

A fine quality Late 18th Century or Early 19th Century French verdure tapestry. This timeless French antique tapestry is woven with lyrical precision in the revered ateliers of Aubusson and captures the pastoral majesty of nature in wool and time. Rendered in autumnal hues of russet, ochre, sage, and dusk green, the composition unfolds to the season's quiet splendor. Amber leaves drift across the forest floor like whispered sonnets, while towering trees sway with the slow breath of fading warmth. Created at the height of the Belle Époque period, this tapestry reflects the spirit of Naturalist Romanticism, celebrating the untamed beauty of the landscape through painterly abstraction and tonal richness. Its palette and brushwork-like weave evoke both mosaic intricacy and Impressionist softness, blurring the line between textile and a painting or tableau. At its heart, this beautiful French Aubusson "Verdure" tapestry leads the viewer through a wooded glade, past stately trunks and bristling underbrush, toward distant architectural forms that dissolve gracefully into the background. The eye follows not a story but a rhythm of nature—a lyrical cadence of shadow and light. This fleeting vignette anchors the idyllic forest in gentle realism, lending depth and humanity to its timeless serenity. Measures: Depth 0.25 in. x Width 112.50 in. x Height 88.25 in. (hand crafted varied in some areas)   The tapestry has recently is in very good antique condition with vivid and rich colors. Minor fading consistent with age, materials and use.
