Felletin Aubusson Tapestry – Gallant Scene with Water Games at the Fountain, Bournaret F. & F. Workshop, circa 1890. Large Aubusson tapestry woven in Felletin, depicting a charming pastoral gallant scene inspired by 18th-century taste. The composition features three elegantly dressed young figures gathered around a garden fountain. A young woman, positioned on the right, playfully splashes water from her hand, while her two companions—a man and a woman—attempt to protect themselves with a lively and natural gesture. The scene evokes a moment of playful lightheartedness, imbued with grace and freshness. The scene is set in a refined bucolic landscape, enlivened by abundant vegetation, trees with delicate foliage, and rustic architecture in the background. The soft, nuanced palette, dominated by pastel tones of beige, green, and pink, lends the work a poetic and harmonious atmosphere. This tapestry is signed in the weft “Bournaret F. & F.”, a renowned workshop in Felletin, and dates to around 1890, a period when the Aubusson workshops revived the gallant and decorative themes inherited from the Rococo style, highly prized for elegant interiors of the late 19th century. A high-quality decorative piece, ideal for a living room, gallery, or classic interior, it exquisitely illustrates the expertise of the Felletin workshops and the timeless charm of gallant scenes.
