About the Item
Antique 19th Century French Needlepoint Tapestry Depicting a Bucolic Scene
Size: 6'2" × 7'3" (187 × 220 cm)
This charming 19th-century French needlepoint tapestry, dating back to circa 1880, beautifully captures the essence of pastoral life through an idyllic and romanticized rural scene. Executed with exceptional craftsmanship, the tapestry features a lively depiction of a countryside gathering, evoking the elegance and harmony of Rococo-inspired genre scenes.
The composition is set in a lush woodland landscape where children are seen joyfully playing on a swing, suspended between two robust trees. Nearby, a group of women and children interact warmly, one child reaching toward a basket of goods, while a docile long-haired ox grazes peacefully at the riverbank. The distant background reveals a classical château and a stone bridge, enriching the scene with architectural depth and historic context.
The use of soft, yet vibrant colors—including corals, sky blues, leafy greens, and golden ochres—creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Fine shading and meticulous stitching highlight the expressive figures, delicate flora, and textural details, from the folds of garments to the bark of trees. A multicolored border with stylized ribbonwork and floral medallions frames the composition, adding a formal elegance to the rustic subject matter.
A testament to the refined aesthetic and technical skill of French needlepoint work from the period, this tapestry is a decorative and collectible piece that brings a touch of history and storytelling to any interior.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
