France, 19th Century

Antique

One-Of-A-Kind

Textile

A thicket of trees and creatures conjured entirely from woven threads. Found in Avignon, this early tapestry brings a deep, woodsy calm into a room, the kind you only get from scenes built stitch by stitch. French tapestry making has roots in the Middle Ages, when workshops in Paris and later Aubusson became known for turning pastoral and hunting scenes into elaborate wall hangings for châteaux. In a modern home, it instantly changes the mood of a space. Sylvie likes it behind a bed or in a study, where it makes the room feel a little more like a centuries-old library and a little less like your laptop is in charge.

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