This fine antique Aubusson verdure tapestry dates to 1890 and is hand-woven from wool and silk. The textile presents a French chateau design vibe with a bucolic scene depicting lush woodland trees, flowering plants in the foreground, and swans swimming on a river. The imagery includes a distant chateau, with verdure foliage picked out in rich shades of green, blue, brown, and cream. The unlined wool and silk fabric shows natural character appropriate to its age. Measuring 365 cm by 230 cm, this wall hanging brings historical pastoral charm to a staircase wall, drawing room, study, or dining room interior.

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.
