These works shifted focus from mythological and historical narratives to the natural world, often featuring forests, birds, and distant architectural elements. This tapestry’s composition, with its lush plant life and subtle château in the background, is characteristic of this period. The use of natural dyes and a handwoven wool and silk blend further place it within the late 17th- to early 18th-century tradition of Aubusson- and Lille-style tapestry production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"foundresse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46428499083430,"sku":null,"price":9350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/7645\/6870\/files\/424BFE02-24CD-4E81-B7A6-FF0984D010F8.jpg?v=1749794244"},{"product_id":"horizontal-french-verdure-tapestry","title":"Vertical French Verdure Tapestry","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate 17th–Early 18th Century French Verdure Tapestry with Bird\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003emeasures approximately 34” x 70”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProfessionally restored and backed; ready to hang\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA richly woven French verdure tapestry fragment dating to the late 1600s or early 1700s, featuring a vibrant stylized bird nestled among lush botanical foliage.

While earlier versions were handwoven in workshops like Aubusson and Beauvais, this example was likely produced on a mechanical Jacquard loom—a 19th-century innovation that revolutionized textile production. Though the weaving process itself was mechanized and guided by punched cards, skilled artisans still played a vital role in overseeing the loom, selecting yarns, and hand-finishing the piece with detail work and repairs.
