In the realm of tapestries, a verdure (or verdure tapestry) is one predominantly adorned with vegetation such as trees and foliage. While animals, both common and exotic, may inhabit this setting—birds and woodland creatures, for instance—human figures and structures are either absent or occupy a marginal role. Despite the prominence of foliage, scenes of hunting do not fall under the category of verdure.
Our verdure tapestry from the Aubusson Manufacture is woven in wool and silk around 1720. This delightful piece depicts a charming woodland scene with a castle in the background. A lovely floral border frames the central subject.
Key feature: freshness of colors. It boasts an original, attractive floral border.
