About the Item
This 2x3 vintage Aubusson tapestry is a rare and special new curation from Rug
Kilim—a signed mid-century original by French artist Jean Lurcat, entitled “The Bribeur”, handwoven in wool and originating from France circa 1940-1950.
On the Design:
"The Bribeur" (translating to “snatcher” or “theft”) is a masterful blend of mythological symbolism and modernist expression. The dramatic composition centers on a primitive figure rendered in flesh tones and brown, set against a rich golden ochre sky, reaching toward a mysterious striped oval form radiating blue flames. Lurçat's signature style is evident in the bold decorative elements—the stylized leaves in burning autumnal hues, the undulating gray-green waves below, and the cosmic elements scattered across the celestial field.
The piece showcases the technical virtuosity of Aubusson weaving through its precise delineation of forms and rich color transitions, while embodying Lurçat's revolutionary approach to tapestry design that helped revitalize this ancient art form in the mid-20th century. The narrative quality and symbolic intensity of this work perfectly captures the artist's ability to merge medieval tapestry traditions with surrealist sensibilities, making it an extremely collectible signature art.
Condition:
This mid-century French tapestry further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—intended for use in wall-hanging projects only.
