About the Item

his 8x10 vintage Aubusson tapestry is a rare and special new curation from Rug Kilim—a signed mid-century original by French artist Jean Lurcat, entitled “Peacock of the Future Cardon” , handwoven in wool and originating from France circa 1950-1960. On the Design: A work of profound artistic and historical significance, this vintage mid-century tapestry by the visionary artist Jean Lurçat is a remarkable find. Handwoven from fine wool in France, this piece is more than a textile; it is a monument to the unique abstract expressionist resurgence that breathed new life into the fabled Aubusson looms.Lurçat and his circle of master weavers are credited with this powerful artistic revival. This tapestry, a direct testament to their legacy, is a masterpiece with no known sibling. It is an emblem of Lurçat's finest work and his ability to weave surreal, dream-like figures into enchanting pictorials. The design of this one-of-a-kind piece, titled “Peacock of the Future Cardon,” is a captivating and surreal tableau, a visual narrative told in four distinct quadrants. It presents a world of fantastical figures—from an enigmatic, spiky creature to a magnificent, feathered beast—all set against a backdrop of stylized sunbursts and rich, organic patterns. Adding to its narrative is a gorgeous poem in French woven into the upper right corner, inviting the viewer into its rich, otherworldly story. This signed piece is a rare treasure that bridges the grand history of the Aubusson workshop with the powerful, individualistic vision of a 20th-century icon. It is not just a work of art; it is a fragment of a dream, captured in wool. Condition: This vintage Jean Lurçat tapestry prevails in good condition with minimal wear consistent with age and origin—intended for use in wall-hanging projects only.
