4 x 5 - Taupe Antique French Tapestry - 77763

77763 Antique French Aubusson Pastoral Tapestry, 04'05 x 04'08.

Drawing inspiration from Jacques-Nicolas Juillard, Jean-Baptiste Huet, and Francois Boucher, this hand-woven antique French Aubusson pastoral tapestry beautifully embodies Louis XV style. This antique French tapestry depicts a village dance with a musician, dancing couples, a baker with a playful dog, and a couple dining at a picnic table. The village is nicely nestled between a plush forest with large trees. The embellishments alone are sufficiently captivating, but the use of color is extraordinary.

Rendered in variegated shades of tan, sand, ecru, gray, pink, mauve, baby blue, olive, moss, peach, brown faded red, rose, coffee, light gray, and camel with other accent colors. The colors join to create a truly compelling dance, and inaudibly speak with a timeless voice that is characterized by sensual decadence, as well as by stately action.
