Hello and Welcome to the Textile Trunk!

This lovely textile is an old Antique French chair or seat cover fragment dating from the 18th century. A gorgeous, but time worn little tapestry with a beautiful aged and faded floral motif with bird, with a central vignette. I LOVE this textile. The hand woven design was made from wool fabric on hemp threads, and there is likely cotton and perhaps some silk as well. Gorgeous aged and muted tones! If you look at the backside of this textile, you get an idea of just how vibrant and colorful this textile would have been in is heyday! There are many spots on this textile where the warp threads have voids, leaving the weft to hang loosely, especially in the central vignette Due to the extent of damage on this piece it is only ideal for framing for display, study, or design inspiration! This textile is one of a set, if you would like to see the other matching pieces, simply search my store for the words " autumnal Aubusson "

MEASUREMENTS: This textile measures about 32 by 32 inches, but is an odd shape.

CONDITION : This textile is in as found condition. For it's age and use, this textile is in excellent condition, ALTHOUGH there are spots of damage for sure! Please use the zoom feature on the photographs to view the exact condition! ~ This textile is ideal for some and not right for others, I LOVE these old pieces framed, they add to much charm to any period interior!~ All condition reflected in the price! ~*~
