About

This wonderful, antique tapestry was woven in the town of Aubusson, France circa 1760. The rectangular landscape scene depicts fishermen working their nets collecting mussels on the water. A beautiful array of blue, green and red hues fill this tapestry, and are balanced across the wide, horizontal landscape. The foreground and middle ground are filled with figures and foliage, and the background shows a classic French chateau. A thin fabric border surrounds this piece and a new backing has been added recently to help maintain its excellent condition. Measures: 27″ W x 89″ H. SKU: 103-201
