"Tapestry From The Jacquard Manufactory, Paris, Circa 1920 - Country Scene - 2.15m X 1.24m - No. 1611"
Description of the tapestry “Pastoral Scene” – Jacquard Manufactory, Paris. A superb decorative tapestry from the Jacquard Manufactory, Paris, depicting an elegant pastoral scene in the style of 18th-century fêtes galantes. Generously sized at 2.15 m x 1.24 m, it offers a harmonious and refined pastoral tableau. At the heart of a bucolic landscape, enlivened by a waterfall, leafy trees, and soft light, several young figures move about in an atmosphere of tranquility and romance. On the left, a musician rests in the grass while a young woman gracefully offers him a cup. In the center, an elegant female figure walks forward, a basket of flowers on her arm, a symbol of the simple pleasures of rustic life. On the right, a couple seated in the greenery share a tender moment, surrounded by flowers and animals. The scene is enriched with meticulous details: sheep, a dog, a mythological statue near the waterfall, and abundant vegetation. The tapestry is framed by a woven border with a floral rose motif, adding a further decorative touch. Exquisitely crafted in a palette of warm tones—ochres, powdery pinks, and soft greens—this tapestry perfectly evokes the delicate and luminous aesthetic of compositions inspired by Boucher or Watteau. A distinctive decorative piece, ideal for bringing charm, elegance, and a romantic spirit to a classic or contemporary interior.
