Description
Dimensions: 110”H x 115”W x .25"D

A 16th Century, or earlier, Aubusson tapestry is vibrant and in wonderful antique condition. Its original border is completely intact and designed with florals, foliage, and birds. Tapestries were first created in the middle ages to hold in warm in otherwise cold stone buildings, over the years they have become practical traveling pieces of art and craftsmanship. Most tapestries tell religious, mythological or hunting stories. Depicted here, is a man who has been shot by a bow and arrow and is being consoled by a woman and his dog; an angel is also present, seemingly willing the man to hang on. Tapestry is lined. Be sure to view the detailed images for a closer look at this incredibly beautiful tapestry and its current condition.
