Description

- Set of two "Verdure" tapestry doors woven in the Aubusson region in the 18th century. These tapestries feature lush vegetation in a landscape embellished with waterways. One of them also features a path leading to a building in the background. The colors of these weavings are beautifully fresh, with green and blue cameos contributing to the effect.

- Used condition. Restorations and gaps are to be noted; the bottom of the right-hand door features a fragment from another tapestry, which has been visually integrated to create a harmonious decorative ensemble.
This sensibility illustrates the aesthetic value that art lovers placed, and still place today, on these fragments of greenery for their highly decorative aspect, perceived as veritable windows onto the outside world.

- Tapestries lined on the reverse with a ring fastening system.

- Dimensions: left tapestry - height: 234 cm, width: 129 cm / right tapestry - height: 237 cm, width: 124.5 cm.
