FAQs

Aubusson tapestries from the late 17th century are flat-woven textiles manufactured in central France, frequently depicting classical, mythological, or biblical scenes framed by foliage, architecture, and drapery. The Baroque period influence is evident in the dynamic figural compositions, narrative depth, and balanced palette of blues, greens, and ochres.

These tapestries were hand-woven on low-warp (basse-lice) looms primarily using dyed wool for the warp and weft, often supplemented with silk highlights to add lustre to clothing and flesh tones. The tight weave structure allowed weavers to execute intricate shading and detailed background landscapes.

Authentic pieces feature natural vegetable dye variation, hand-spun wool and silk yarns, and characteristic weaver marks or town monograms woven into the outer selvage border. Examination of the reverse side typically reveals uneven hand-stitching, slit-sewing repairs, and historical dye oxidation.

A large narrative tapestry can serve as a central focal point when mounted on a neutral, minimal wall above a low sideboard or console table. Integrating the muted blue and earth tones of the textile into surrounding soft furnishings creates architectural contrast and visual warmth.

Tapestries should be hung using a continuous Velcro header system stitched to a protective cotton backing to evenly distribute weight. Keep the textile away from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and clean exclusively via gentle vacuuming through a mesh screen or consultation with a professional textile conservator.
