  • H: 275 cm (108 1/4")
  • W: 285 cm (112 3/16")
  • D: 1 cm (0 3/8")

Stunning 18th Century Aubusson tapestry.

Depicting flora and fauna in warm green and brown tones. The tapestry and its border are in excellent condition.

Aubusson Verdure tapestries originated from workshops set up between the towns of Clermont- Ferrand, and Limoges in France. 

In the 17th and 18th centuries, Aubusson successfully rivaled Gobelins and Beauvais tapestry.

They generally relied upon engravings, with their most famous tapestries decorated with illustrations drawn from the fables of French poet Jean de La Fontaine. Figures are set against a background of 'verdure' in Aubusson tapestries.
