Tapestry
An exquisite 19th-century French tapestry, finely woven, depicting a tranquil woodland scene. At the center, two elegantly dressed young women and a gentleman are seated in a naturalistic setting, engaged in quiet conversation. Framed by two stately trees, the trio overlooks a gently flowing river, beyond which rises a grand château nestled in the landscape. The scene is imbued with a romantic, Arcadian spirit, emblematic of the period’s revivalist taste for idyllic countryside life and aristocratic leisure.
The color palette features soft earth tones with hints of rose, moss green, and pale blue, lending warmth and depth to the composition. The craftsmanship and artistic composition reflect the influence of earlier 18th-century designs, reinterpreted with 19th-century precision and sensibility.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
