About the Item

78244 Late 19th Century Antique French Aubusson Tapestry, 4'00 x 4'09. Woven in the famed workshops of Aubusson during the late 19th century, this antique French tapestry conjures the chivalric splendor of a long-lost medieval world—a romanticized tableau drawn not from history but from the dreams of the Belle Epoque. Here, gallant hunters clad in rose-colored tunics and plumed caps roam through a stylized forest, their hounds alert and eager amid a riot of foliage and blooming flora. It is a vision of pageantry and pastoral nobility, echoing the grandeur of Renaissance courtly life as seen through the ornamental lens of 19th-century revivalism. The scene unfolds like a woven chanson de geste, where each figure is rendered with narrative purpose: one man carries a spear, another leads a faithful hound, while two noble youths, draped in sumptuous robes, watch from the wooded path with contemplative grace. The terrain undulates in painterly waves, dotted with trees of russet and moss, their canopies feathered in soft abstraction. Beneath them, a floral forest floor blooms with stylized blossoms and giant-leaved plants that burst in shades of crimson, saffron, and indigo—a nod to the millefleurs tapestries of the 16th century, reimagined with 19th-century verve. Framing this romantic woodland tale is a decorative border adorned with scrolling ribbons, geometric flourishes, and heraldic inflections in deep crimson and navy. Unlike the subtle borders of original medieval tapestries, this frame asserts itself boldly, signaling the artistic sensibility of the Aubusson ateliers—where craftsmanship met theatrical design. It adds not only cohesion but a flourish of grandeur, ensuring the composition feels both anchored and elevated, suited for the salons and grand halls of 19th-century French nobility or bourgeois patrons enchanted by the Middle Ages. The tapestry’s structure speaks to the mastery of its weavers: flat-woven with a painterly sense of light and form, its back reveals the disciplined chromatic segmentation that defines the Aubusson method. The wool threads—hand-dyed and carefully interlocked—capture a vibrancy that has mellowed into a palette of rich, earthy dignity. This textile, though grounded in pastiche, was never meant as mere reproduction; it was an expression of nostalgia made new—a tribute to heritage and fantasy woven for a new age of taste and refinement. As a whole, this Aubusson tapestry offers more than just decorative splendor—it is a portal into a romanticized past, where nature is idealized, nobility is eternal, and stories are told in threads. It reflects the 19th-century longing for a world of honor and beauty, one that never quite existed, yet forever lingers in the woven memory of tapestries like this. Rendered in variegated shades of tan, rose, cerulean, brown, gold, red, taupe, pink, plum, olive, sage, glaucous, rust, gold, green, verdigris, purple, cerise, and beige with other accent colors.

Bobyrug’s Beautiful Hunting French jacquard tapestry in Aubusson style

Located in Saint Ouen, FR

Hunting jacquard tapestry in style of Detti, Renaissance style, from which a climate of richness and frivolity emerges from this scene. The Renaissance profoundly changed the art of tapestry. The taste for large decorative frescoes was reborn, but with a sense of composition, decor and perspective, hitherto unknown. In this “Hunting”, the artist mainly painted the attitude and costumes of the characters. The hunt itself stands in the background. Characters dressed "in the Italian style", richly caparisoned horses...
