ANTIQUE #SA1219364

165 X 248cm 18th Century European Needlework Tapestry, Probably French

£5,950    $7,974    €6,970
Obviously inspired by a verdure tapestry this beautiful needlework was probably made in France, and is a monumental piece of work. Needlework is much slower than tapestry so would have taken much longer than a tapestry of equivalent size. The subject matter is familiar and soothing, layers of green and blue foliage, a pair of birds and various flowering plants in front of a distant background, possibly mountainous and a fair attempt at aerial perspective has been made, where things further away appear lighter in colour. An almost regal border with a gold background and a leafy vine winding around a pole. Freshly lined, conserved and lightly cleaned, ready for your wall.
 
5''5'' x 8''4''
