The hard-to-find Antique French Tapestry from Gobelins of Paris is an exceptionally rare and desirable piece.

The romantic scene it depicts shows a young goddess, believed to be Venus or Aphrodite to the Greeks, surrounded by her ladies-in-waiting and embellished with cherubs and a satyr. Young maidens and cherubs dance in the background, creating an idyllic landscape that was perfected during the Renaissance by the Gobelins.

 


Louis XIV promoted the industry to the point it received worldwide acclaim.

The French Ministry of Culture still maintains a tapestry factory in Paris near Les Gobelins mtro station in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

It was originally established on the site as medieval dyeing business by the family Gobelin.


Width = 195cm

Height = 130cm

 

 

This Tapestry exhibits consistent signs of age, adding to its aesthetic quality and unique character. It is, however, in an exceptionally well-maintained condition.
