Large 17th Century Aubusson Tapestry

About the Item

Stunningly vivid late 17th early 18th century Aubusson tapestry. Strong Verdure themes with a scene depicting Bathsheba and David in the centre. An unusually large amount of silk was used in its manufacture. Made by candle light over 300 years ago this would have taken a team of professionals many months to finish. Typically only completing a few inches per-day. Excellent colours, good condition and no cleaning nessisary. Strong linen backing for support. Can be hung with velco or on a pole. Sourced in Paris.
