Wall Tapestry After "L'escargot" by Henri Matisse, Manufactura Portalegre, 1970

About the Item

Exceptional wall tapestry after a painting from 1952 by Henri Matisse with the title "L'escargot" ( the snail). The tapestry, measuring 2m by 1.40m, was made on special order in different vibrant colors by the famous Portuguese manufacturer Manufactura de Tapeçarias de Portalegre which has existed for almost more than a century and is located in the region of Lisbon. The manufacture is especially known for the mastery of a particular weaving technique. This is why artists including Jean Lurçat, Mathieu Matégot, Viera da Silva and others have had their works produced by the craftsmen of this weaving studio. The tapestry is of exceptional quality and the colors are particularly vivid. The wide orange edge makes the colors such as red, yellow or purple stand out even better. The weaving of this particular tapestry took several months according to the actual director Vera Fino whose father was the founder of the Portalegre manufacture. Despite its age, this work is in exceptional and entirely original condition and has no discoloration, tear or other defect. A truly stunning piece which will elevate an interior to the next level.
