About the Item
A striking and vibrant wall tapestry titled "Aurore", designed by French artist Jean Claude Bissery, under the direction of Dermagne – Éditeur d’Art, and published by the prestigious Centre Français des Tapis et Tapisseries (CFTT). This piece was woven using the refined “Point Princesse” technique, a hallmark of traditional French tapestry craftsmanship.
This masterful tapestry showcases a rich, dynamic composition of floral motifs, radiant sun-like forms, and stylized birds in flight. Warm tones of red, ochre, gold, and black come together in a circular, almost hypnotic pattern that evokes the dawning of a new day — a poetic and expressive theme characteristic of Bissery's work.
The tapestry is handwoven in pure new wool, certified by the Woolmark label, ensuring both durability and softness. The artist’s signature is woven into the lower right corner, affirming its authenticity.
This tapestry is more than just a wall decoration; it is a piece of design history, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication and modernity to any interior. Its dimensions make it an ideal artwork for a living room, entryway, or bedroom, where it can serve as a focal point and a conversation starter. It is in excellent condition, retaining all the vibrancy of its colors and the integrity of its weaving.

The back of the tapestry retains the original editor’s label, which states:

Signed by both the artist and the editor, this label guarantees the piece's authenticity and provenance.
For Collectors and Design Enthusiasts:
