Description

This is a large antique tapestry. A French, needlepoint decorative wall covering depicting wool workers in the Loire valley, dating to the early 20th century, circa 1920.

Of superior proportion, this tapestry is a quality recreation of a 16th century renaissance tapestry known as Travail de la Laine (literal - Wool work). The original has been displayed in the famous Louvre gallery, Paris.

Generously sized for decorative wall mounting at 6' 5" x 4' 7" (200cm x 144cm)

Displaying a desirably aged patina with minimal signs of sun fading

Quality needlepoint tapestry, issuing copious fascinations and in very good order

Beautiful colour palette in a multitude of hues a treat for the senses

Two female figures flank a standing male to the centre whilst trees, plants and animals enthusiastically decorate the scene

Label to rear for the traditional French tapissiers Artis Flora

Key details of the piece in hand-written French, including the age for the original museum piece

Dressed to the rear with six hanging mounts for ease of wall display

This is a highly decorative, large antique tapestry with beautiful renaissance taste and appealing to collectors of Francophile or historical interest. The proportion affords a striking wall covering for the grandest rooms and is sure to spark conversation at dinner parties. Delivered ready to enjoy.
