A Majestic Work by the Master of Modern Tapestry

Discover “Saturn and the Roosters,” an exceptional Aubusson tapestry, the result of a collaboration between the visionary artist Jean Lurçat (1892–1966) and the prestigious PINTON Frères workshop. Representative of the revival of textile art in the 20th century, this piece is not merely a wall decoration, but an investment in a chapter of French art history.

• Artist: Jean Lurçat, a central figure in the renaissance of contemporary tapestry.

• Weaving Workshop: PINTON Frères, a guarantor of quality and time-honored craftsmanship in Aubusson.

• Title: Les Coqs (Symbol of dawn, vitality, and France).

• Impressive Dimensions: 300 cm × 155 cm (Width × Height), ideal for a large wall, a private collection, or an institutional space.

The work stands out for its signature Lurçat style, blending primal power with sophisticated composition. The motif centers on two proud, stylized roosters, framed by lush, golden foliage.

• Striking Contrast: The light background, crisscrossed by undulating rays of bright yellow sunlight, contrasts powerfully with a dramatic upper-right corner evoking a stormy night sky—a recurring theme in Lurçat’s work symbolizing the cycle of life, light, and darkness.

• Masterful Color Palette: The use of earthy tones, rich greens, deep reds, and vibrant yellows—typical of Lurçat’s simplified “carton”—gives the tapestry unparalleled visual texture and depth.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality work by one of the greatest names in 20th-century art, in remarkable condition.
