Belgium Tapestry - The Gathering

Belgium, 20th Century

$995

Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Textile

Two lovers have stopped under the trees in the cool of an afternoon, a lamb at their feet and a fountain somewhere behind them, the whole scene woven in soft, faded browns. Found in Belgium and dating to the 20th century, it is a woven panel of that pastoral scene, stretched over a wooden panel so it hangs like a picture without a frame. The pastoral was a favorite of French decoration, and Boucher himself designed whole tapestry series of these country lovers for the Beauvais looms, an idealized countryside with none of the mud. Sylvie leans it on a mantel where the two of them can carry on their afternoon above the fire.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this framed tapestry may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation in the wood frame from years of use. The textile may also show sun-faded color and a few loose threads. It's all part of its age and character, just the way we like it.
