Why settle for a little sketch when you can cover your walls in medieval-level drama? This early 20th-century French tapestry, discovered in Avignon, carries with it the quiet grandeur of the Perche woodlands, once roamed by knights, farmers, and hunters alike. Woven in monochrome detail, the scenes capture a timeless pastoral drama, trees rising tall, figures in motion, a landscape alive with history even when rendered still. Tapestries like this were once the pride of noble homes, both decoration and insulation, draped across stone walls to soften the chill. Today, Sylvie sees them as statement pieces, commanding presence above a bed or sofa, or leaning nonchalantly in a studio for that undone, atelier look.

  • Notes from Sylvie:

    Please note: We think the sun-faded color and a minor tear at the top only add to its beauty. The solid oak frame as a slight twist in it and it hangs from metal hooks. Please note there is a 3" tear on the top right of the tapestry.
