Antique French Painted Tapestry Murual .
We are back ! After a much needed hiatus to work on some great projects , we’re back hitting the markets this Spring ! Europe and a very cold winter but the Fleas are turning up gems!
Offered today is a rare wonderful find ! An antique hand painted French tapestry mural on linen. This would have been used as master for tapestry weaving but is certainly a work of art in it own right ! The original piece of linen was mounted on anothe...r larger piece probably circa the 1930s giving it a frame and it comes mounted on a wooded pole ready to display. The tapestry cartoon itself dates to the late 19th century and these is some age discoloring on the linen as well as some red dye staining toward the top . We sourced this at one of our very favorite antique markets in Avignon and we’re really thrilled to get it ! So often the condition is so poor that it is hardly salvageable — this is greet piece and will bring a lot of drama to any interior where it’s used ! It measures 73 inches x 41.
Thank you for stopping by our listing ! Be sure and take a moment to browse through our other auctions — we just returned from a buying trip and have many wonderful things to share . Not only do we Source at the big markets in Paris, Avignon and Arezzo , but we also haunt the back roads and forgotten villages of Europe to offer up the unique and never dull!
