Description: Will Ship Worldwide! A very beautiful Hand-Woven Panel Tapestry in the Renaissance motif with a Crown & Lion set in a floral background. The size is about 3 feet wide and near 8' tall. While it can be used single on tall narrow walls in a stair well, this beauty can also be used in a pair as outer panels on the outside of French doors or sliding gladd doors gurding your regular draperies. This tapestry is woven by finest hand-spun fine soft wool in the same soft french pastel colors. Handmade FlatWoven rugs were introdued by the revolution of Tapestries which took over Europe. As it was realized as to how much influence they had in decoration on people, the wealthy and the dignitaries insisted on commemorating every even by a design scene woven in a tapestry reflecting the event to decorate the walls with. Soon most Churches from nederlands to Italy and all countries in between set up shops in their basements for tapestry weaving. Some of the most famous of them all happens to be the Unicorn. As per Heilbrunn, Commercial workshops in the Netherlands and France continued to benefit from the large market for hangings in the decorative Rococo style that dominated fashion during the second third of the eighteenth century. The Beauvais workshops enjoyed great success with designs produced by Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1686–1755) and François Boucher (1703–1770). The latter was especially gifted as a tapestry designer, and the idealized scenes of amorous courtiers and peasants in sylvan settings that he produced for the Beauvais workshops are among the defining elements of the French Rococo style (64.145.3). Boucher's success at Beauvais led to his appointment as tapestry designer to the Gobelins manufactory in the mid-1750s, where his most notable design was a collaboration undertaken with the artists Maurice Jacques (1712–1784) and Louis Tessier (1719/20–1781). Their tapestry series incorporated trompe l'oeil paintings against a trompe l'oeil damask ground, festooned with flowers and populated by exotic birds. The first weaving of this design was produced in the 1760s for Croome Court (Worcestershire), the country residence of Lord Coventry (58.75.1-22), and thereafter at least five other sets were commissioned by English patrons.
