A breathtaking 18th-century Aubusson tapestry, handwoven in France and featuring a regal peacock in a lush garden scene. This tapestry prominently features a chateau-like village with turreted rooftops and architectural details, a dead giveaway of Aubusson's narrative and scenic leanings. It also showcases a balanced composition - more structure, more balanced scenes.
Woven with wool (the primary base color providing durability and matting) and silk (used to highlight or light accents - look for the reds, yellows, or whites), and woven on a low-warp loom, which is traditional for Aubusson.
Nestled beneath broad-leafed trees and surrounded by vivid florals, the long-necked bird gazes toward a stately chateau in the background—an architectural detail that adds historical significance to the pastoral scene. The original palette of deep blues, forest greens, ochres, and soft creams has mellowed gracefully with time, creating a dreamy, painterly quality only centuries can deliver.
This tapestry has been professionally backed and grommeted for secure hanging, while still preserving the authentic wear that makes antique textiles so collectible. Minor threadbare areas and subtle fading speak to its age and journey, not flaws but testaments to its story.
A true statement piece for a space that appreciates history, beauty, and the irreplaceable soul of a centuries-old handwoven treasure.
Dimensions: 69 x 35.25 (~6 ft long by ~3 ft wide)
