The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A verdure tapestry is a style of woven wall hanging originating in French textile centres like Aubusson, characterised by its dominant focus on foliage, trees, and pastoral landscape scenery.

Traditional Aubusson tapestries were hand-woven on low-warp looms using wool for structural durability and silk highlights for finer details and subtle sheen.

Authentic examples feature hand-spun yarns, characteristic slit-weave construction joins, flat low-warp texture, and natural vegetable dyes that display soft age-related colour variation on the front face.

A large tapestry is typically mounted on a focal wall to introduce organic texture and architectural scale, pairing well with either classic timber furniture or contemporary minimalist pieces.

To preserve structural integrity, tapestries should be mounted with supportive continuous hook-and-loop strips, kept out of direct sunlight, and cleaned exclusively by professional textile conservators.
