Description

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

Fragment of a short carpet (woven using the tapestry technique). Decorated with medallions of flowers au naturel on a wine-red background.
The wine-red background is set off by a network of repeating green motifs borrowed from the plant world and stylized (florets, culottes and foliate scrolls). This network of motifs runs across the entire surface of the carpet, skirting certain areas to form medallions. The medallions are centered around bouquets of cut flowers in a natural style. This fragment reveals a dozen medallions of flowers, and as many different species. Among them are bouquets of tulips, roses, peonies, daisies, etc. The colors have retained their liveliness, with the wine-red background offering pleasant contrasts with the springtime colors of the flowers in the medallions.

- Carpet woven in an Aubusson workshop, Charles X period, circa 1825

- This carpet fragment is doubled and has hooks that allow it to be hung vertically on the wall like a tapestry.
-There are a few old restorations and a few missing wefts around the edges. Its rectangular shape is irregular; the choice of a harmonious pattern with an identical cut on the side medallions took precedence over the exact horizontality of one of the sides.

-Dimensions: 1.45 cm x 1.95 cm with clip (1.91 cm without clip)
