Tapestry - The Hunt

The moment Sylvie saw this, she knew it was coming with us. Woven in the French tradition, this hunting tapestry captures the kind of lively outdoor scene that once lined the drafty stone walls of country houses and city manors alike. Tapestries were the original insulation and art form in one, warming a room both literally and visually, and scenes of the hunt were a favorite since they celebrated skill, camaraderie, and the working partnership between rider and dog. In a modern home, this piece brings that same sense of narrative and texture, its softened palette and worn threads adding depth without overwhelming a space. Sylvie loves it above a bed or along a long hallway where the scene can unfold.
