This tapestry is inspired from a fine example of a classical Verdure (or Greenery) Tapestry, such as those woven in the traditional weaving town of Aubusson during the 18th Century, and often commissioned by the aristocracy.
The theme of the Verdure style of tapestries had a purely ornamental role in interior decoration, with designs based on plant forms, reflecting the interest in botanical themes during this period. The intimate subjects of the Verdure tapestries depicted wooded landscapes with rivers, foliage and chateaux, creating an effect of depth and perspective, and suggesting a retreat into the scene.
Production at Aubusson was traditionally carried out by small family workshops GROUPED in guild organisations, creating mainly le rustique style of tapestries, such as the ever-popular Verdures, and other rural scenes and landscapes. The skill of the weavers was thereby passed down in families from generation to generation. The weaving industry gradually prospered at Aubusson as its reputation and clientele grew, and the town was granted the title of Royal Manufactory in 1665, in line with the Beauvais and Gobelins Workshops.
This beautiful tapestry is woven on a jacquard loom by skilled weavers, keeping alive the centuries old tradition of tapestry manufacturing from generation to generation. This tapestry is fully lined incorporating a sleeve along the top for hanging with a Hines hanging rod. Alternatively, this tapestry can be hung with a wooden batten which is a concealed method of hanging.
