About the Item
A superb and substantial late 17th Century Aubusson verdure tapestry, skilfully hand-woven in the renowned weaving district of Aubusson in central France. This exceptional example of Baroque textile art presents an expansive and richly detailed wooded landscape, characterised by lush foliage and a sophisticated composition typical of verdure hangings of the period — a genre that celebrates natural forms and panoramic garden or forest scenes with depth and vitality.
Executed in finely spun wool and silk, the tapestry has retained an attractive palette that emphasises the interplay of greens and earth tones, with subtle highlights that attest to the weaver’s mastery of tone and texture. Verdure tapestries were highly valued throughout the 17th and 18th centuries for their decorative presence in grand interiors, serving both as insulation and as a statement of taste and sophistication in noble and aristocratic homes.
