Tapestry
A charming and skillfully woven French verdure tapestry from the 19th century, echoing the grandeur of earlier Flemish works while embracing the romantic sensibilities of the era. This piece captures the bucolic serenity and verdant abundance that define the verdure genre, with an emphasis on lush foliage, tranquil landscapes, and harmonious composition. By the 19th century, tapestry weaving in France—particularly at Aubusson and Beauvais—had turned toward revivalism, reinterpreting the verdure tradition of the 16th and 17th centuries for a new audience of aristocrats and bourgeois collectors. These tapestries were prized for their decorative quality, often gracing drawing rooms, salons, and château's with their gentle portrayal of nature. 9ft.07in wide x 7ft.04in high
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.
