Antique Heraldic French Tapestry with Gold and Blue Pictorials, from Rug & Kilim
This 9x11 antique Heraldic tapestry is handwoven in wool, and originates from 17th century France.
On the Design:
Admirers of the craft will appreciate this piece as a rare and extremely collectible work—made during one of the most sought-after periods of French and European weaving alike. In its design, beige-brown, blue and gold tones underscore pictorials of elaborate detail and grandeur in both field and border alike. The border, which is exceptional in both condition and design among works of its period, hosts several depictions of eagles, Greco-Roman cartouches, Cherub angels, and floral patterns (with a notable teal tone in the many gorgeous colors at play). The field, meanwhile, may depict the wedding of King David of Israel and Abigail of Nabal, as told in the Old Testament. This tapestry is a masterpiece in its own right, with a true connoisseur's level of detail, intention, and regal beauty.
Condition:
This antique tapestry further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
