Description

- Tapestry with a gallant scene woven in the 18th century in an Aubusson workshop.

Complete restoration carried out in 2014 in the restoration workshop of the Royal Manufactory De Wit

The weaving presented is centered on a rural amusement; the pleasant activity of the seesaw. The elegantly dressed young woman, a tambourine in her hand, is seated close to the ground while the young man opposite is in the air, his hat in his hand.

- The landscape in the background (river, green banks, small village) places this gallant scene in a picturesque setting. The composition is punctuated by a large central tree, serving as an anchor for the swing and extending over the entire height of the tapestry.

- Adding to the decorative character of the piece, the simulates a fluted frame around which long, bronze acanthus leaves and bouquets of flowers are wrapped.

- This weaving is related to the productions of the Aubusson craftsmen after Julliard who were able to translate into tapestry a whole series of country amusements.

- Very satisfactory state of conservation (complete restoration carried out in 2014 in the restoration workshop of the Royal Manufacture De Wit). Lined, hanging system in place (velcro strip).

- Dimensions: Height: 267 cm Width: 160 cm
