A Magnificent Antique French Tapestry from Aubusson, Circa 1750 This exquisite Aubusson tapestry captures the Rococo spirit with a whimsical landscape. At its center, a gnarled tree stump hosts a vivid red bird, framed by lush foliage, distant hills, and a chateau bathed in luminous Bright Yellow and grounded by Deep Charcoal shadows. The elegant border, with scrolling acanthus leaves in burnt orange against a dark ground, anchors the scene with dramatic contrast. Far beyond its decorative purpose, this tapestry stands as a poetic evocation of the Rococo spirit, capturing nature’s whimsy and the luxurious finesse of French weaving at its height.
