Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

-Table rug, needlepoint tapestry technique (small stitch inclined to the right), France, late 19th century in the style of the 18th century.
- This tapestry features a symmetrical design of rich polychrome motifs (stylized plants and conchs, serpentine forms), with exuberant, fancifully conceived vegetation flourishing all over the surface. The plain brown background, against which the motifs stand out, creates numerous color contrasts that serve the design and elegance of the curved forms. The overall effect is highly decorative.

- This decoration is known as "bizarre", a term used to describe motifs imitating those of silks woven in the 18th century, which were themselves boldly stylized adaptations of Asian fabrics circulating on the European market thanks to the trade routes of the time.

- Two strips sewn together to create symmetry, tapestry doubled.

- Good condition, very fresh colors.
- Dimensions: 195.5 cm X 123 cm
