France, 18th Century

$6,595

Antique Very Old Textile Rare

A pastoral dream woven in wool and time. This 18th century Aubusson tapestry, found in Béziers, depicts elegant herons standing among trees and lush foliage, set against a softly rolling landscape and framed by a richly detailed floral border. The palette is beautifully muted with warm earth tones, softened greens, dusty blues, and blush tones that only centuries can mellow this way. Originally created to insulate stone walls while signaling refinement, tapestries like this brought both warmth and narrative into grand interiors. Hung as a statement piece or layered into a collected interior, it brings scale, history, and depth to a room in one sweeping expanse.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Please note: This piece does have a few tears in the top part of the tapestry. It still hangs well, but it should be carefully handled. We think the sun-faded color and a few loose threads only add to its beauty.
