Pair of Antique Late 17th C. French Aubusson Tapestry Portière Border Panels

About the Item

Called portière, these antique wall hanging tapestries were handwoven in Aubusson, France in the late 17th Century (c 1680s). They both feature floral and foliage decor in a 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. Minor reweaving and a restored cut to one panel. They each measure 7.3 ft x 11.5 inches and come with hanging rods for display. Provenance: Christie's Auction House, London, United Kingdom in 1999. Complimentary shipping in the Continental US!
