Hervé Lelong Tapestry, 1960; Woven Wool; French Textile Art

Large wall tapestry signed Hervé Lelong, created around 1960 in woven wool. This decorative work features a lush composition of stylized foliage, flowers, and birds, rendered in a warm palette of reds, ochres, beiges, and blacks—characteristic of the revival of French tapestry from the 1950s to the 1970s.

The naturalistic inspiration, combined with a highly controlled graphic composition, evokes the influence of Jean Lurçat while affirming Hervé Lelong’s personal style. This tapestry is an iconic piece of mid-20th-century French design.

• Condition: very good overall condition, vibrant colors, slight patina consistent with its age
• Dimensions: 160x100 cm

This tapestry can be displayed in both contemporary and classic interiors. It makes a strong decorative statement thanks to its rich graphic design and deep colors.

Born in Chartres in 1937 and passed away in 2023, Hervé Lelong is one of the most renowned French designers in the field of contemporary tapestry. A student of Robert Wogensky, he collaborated with the Aubusson workshops, where several of his designs were woven. His work draws heavily on nature—birds, vegetation, and flowers—expressed through a refined decorative style that carries on the great French tradition of modern tapestry. His creations are now featured on the international art market and are regularly offered in specialized galleries, at auction houses, and on major platforms dedicated to 20th-century design
