About the Item

Handwoven in wool and originating from France, this 3x5 French Art Nouveau pictorial tapestry from the turn of the century is a rare and special new curation from Rug Kilim—‘Ilsée Princesse de Tripoli’ by Robert de Flers, inspired from Alphonse Mucha's 1897 illustrations. On the Design: This Art Nouveau textile design centers on a stylized female visage with almond-shaped eyes and subtly arched brows characteristic of Mucha's idealized feminine archetype woven with flattened perspective. Admirers of the craft may appreciate the characteristic Art Nouveau elements including the elaborately stylized floral headdress with violet-blue poppies and orange blossoms framing the face. The female figure exhibits the emblematic Mucha aesthetic with precisely delineated facial features, ornamental headband, and decorative pendant earrings connected by curved linear elements. The background employs a soft rose-pink tone that enhances the warm ochre, lavender, and terracotta elements of the central motif. The textile beautifully captures the illustrator's use of outline—maintaining the crisp contour lines that define the face, flowers, and ornamental elements. This magnificent piece represents the adaptation of fine art illustration to textile format during the height of the Art Nouveau movement with the integration of Byzantine decorative elements. Condition: This antique French Art Nouveau tapestry further enjoys good condition for its age and origin—intended for use in wall-hanging projects only.
