Important Felletin Tapestry Attributed—“lush Greenery With Four Birds And Architecture”

Felletin (attributed to), Aubusson region – Late 17th / early 18th century

Dimensions: H. 270 × W. 380 cm approx.

Exceptional for its size and the richness of its composition, this significant antique tapestry, attributed to the Felletin workshops, depicts a sumptuous green landscape enlivened by four birds set within a lush, architecturally designed setting.

The scene reveals abundant vegetation with lush foliage, punctuated by delicately rendered flowers, exotic birds, and majestic wading birds. In the background, castles, towers, and fantastical architectural elements are rendered in a refined perspective, lending depth and poetry to the whole.

The composition is framed by a remarkable border with a deep brown background, richly adorned with vases of flowers, acanthus scrolls, and stylized foliage, whose design continues harmoniously along the various sides.

The quality of the weaving and the richness of the color palette are the main attractions of this work: superb shades of deep greens, turquoise blues, and blue-greens, enhanced by tones of ivory, golden ochre, and deep brown.

Through its ornamental repertoire—featuring birds, architectural motifs, and the design of its border—this tapestry exhibits strong stylistic affinities with the grand “verdures” produced in the Felletin workshops at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries.

In excellent condition, with remarkably fresh colors, a clearly defined design, and a well-preserved border. The tapestry is fully lined and in excellent overall condition.

A large-scale collector’s piece with remarkable decorative presence, combining rich iconography, harmonious colors, and the elegance of classic “grandes verdures.”

A particularly appealing piece for lovers of antique tapestries, collectors, and prestigious interiors.
