Large French Aubusson Pastoral Verdure Tapestry or Wall Hanging

About the Item

A vibrant and playful Aubusson tapestry depicting the typical French scenery of castle surrounded by a forest with birds and river in the foreground. This tapestry also has a twist experimenting with bright colors and shapes, such as the various shaped leaves on the trees. This generously sized tapestry was woven in Aubusson, France in the early 20th century, circa 1920-30. The semi-antique wall hanging with the original border depicts a traditional "Verdure" scene. The lush, green composition features landscape, trees, birds and a castle in the distance with thick blue and green foliage. The detailed, decorative wall hanging tapestry is in perfect antique condition with a new canvas backing for stability and hooks making it ready to hang. It flaunts a strong color palette that includes neutral green and beige earth tones, as well as, rose and floral colors. Aubusson, a town on the river Creuse in central France, became a center of tapestry manufacturing 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: Width 79 1/2" Height 41" Depth 1".
