This exquisite piece has undergone deep cleaning by our experts in our artisanal workshop and is now ready to adorn your interior.

The term "Point Piqûre Main" refers to a traditional hand-weaving or hand-assembly technique for tapestries. Here is a more detailed explanation:

Origin and Use: This method is primarily employed in prestigious workshops such as the Manufacture d’Aubusson in France. It is used to create tapestries or textile works where each stitch is made by hand, allowing for very precise and durable results.

Technique: Threads of wool, silk, or linen are individually pierced into the support’s warp using a special needle. Each motif is entirely hand-stitched, unlike industrial tapestries where weaving is mechanical. This technique produces subtle relief and highly detailed patterns, highly valued in textile art.

Advantages: A tapestry made with the "Point Piqûre Main" technique is unique, of exceptional quality, and durable. It can be considered a work of art rather than mere decoration.

In summary, this is a traditional French artisanal method that guarantees the tapestry’s value and authenticity.
