About the Item

Called portière, these antique wall hanging tapestries were handwoven in Aubusson, France in the 19th Century. They both feature floral and foliage decor in a deep red and beige palette. Portière tapestries were traditionally used in French chateaux and palaces in past centuries, they are unique in that they are designed to fill narrow wall spaces. A portière is a hanging curtain placed over a door or over the doorless entrance to a room. The tapestries are in excellent condition and each measure 6.8 (W) x 4.3 (H) ft. Provenance: Doyle Auction House, New York, NY in 1994.
