Description

I love the subject matter here, a young boy running through a verdant landscape, the string in his hand connected to a kite and his beautifully drawn face looking up. It's very unusual and Ido not recall seeing anything similar before. The colours are fresh, even vibrant especially around the clothing of the seated man, the crimson red stands out as does the pinkness of the boys knees. A wonderful scene, will bring decor and levity.

5'3" x 8'6"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this 18th Century Audenaarde Tapestry to the 1750s.

This eighteenth century Audenaarde woven tapestry depicts two figures in a wooded landscape with a floral border in an eighteenth century Flemish style. Made from wool and silk, the piece displays a muted green palette alongside fresh crimson red and pink tones. The design incorporates verdure foliage, a figural scene, plumed headwear, and a decorated floral border surrounding a kneeling man and a young boy holding a kite string. Measuring 160 cm by 259 cm, the textile is designed for display on a staircase wall within a French chateau setting to add interior decoration. It hangs vertically as a wall hanging in a living room, hallway, or staircase to bring character and historic style to a home interior.

FAQs

Audenaarde tapestries were produced in the Flemish town of Oudenaarde, renowned from the 15th to 18th centuries for fine hand-woven textiles that predominantly featured verdure landscapes, pastoral life, and classical figures.

These textiles were woven on vertical or horizontal looms using durable wool threads for the warp, combined with dyed wool yarns and silk threads for the weft to create tonal variation and depth.

Authentic period tapestries demonstrate hand-spun yarn texture, natural vegetable dye oxidation over time, hand-stitched lining repairs, and characteristic weaving techniques along the outer outer selvedge borders.

Hang the wall textile on a large, neutral-toned wall in a hallway, dining room, or reception room to provide visual texture and historical contrast against contemporary furnishings.

Keep tapestries away from direct sunlight and damp environments, support the weight evenly using a stitched Velcro header rail, and consult textile conservation specialists for cleaning.
