About the Item

79489 Vintage Chinese Aubusson Tapestry, 07'10 x 06'10. This handwoven wool vintage Chinese Aubusson tapestry is an extraordinary masterpiece that channels the grandeur of European courtly art through the disciplined precision of Chinese ateliers. Inspired by The Labors of Hercules, it presents not merely a decorative textile, but a narrative tableau—one designed for grand walls, formal salons, and collectors who understand that true luxury speaks in stories, not slogans. Its presence immediately elevates a space into something ceremonial and rare. At the heart of the exceptional composition, Hercules emerges in heroic tension, rendered with sculptural clarity against a richly animated field of scrolling foliage. The scene unfolds like a woven fresco: muscular form, dynamic movement, and mythic confrontation are framed by swirling acanthus leaves and allegorical flora. The iconic design draws directly from French Aubusson traditions of the 17th and 18th centuries, where classical mythology served as a visual language of power, virtue, and aristocratic education. Encircling the central drama is an opulent border dense with architectural scrolls, floral abundance, and symbolic ornamentation. Anchoring the composition is a distinguished cartouche bearing a Latin inscription—positioned at the top and echoed within the border—bestowing scholarly gravitas and historical authority. This inscription functions as both intellectual seal and visual crown, reinforcing the tapestry’s role as an object of cultural prestige rather than mere decoration. Increasingly scarce and highly sought after, Chinese Aubusson tapestries of this caliber were created for an elite global clientele who prized European classicism executed with elite craftsmanship. Ideal for libraries, grand stair halls, or formal living spaces, this exquisite work of art offers more than beauty—it offers lineage, erudition, and mythic resonance. It is a statement of cultivated power, meant for collectors who curate legacy as carefully as they curate space. Abrash. Backed with fabric lining. Handwoven wool. Made in China. Measures: 07'10 x 06'10. Pile Height: 0.12 of an inch. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
