Description
An original and exquisite "Point Genre Gobelins" tapestry depicting a 17th Century landscape, and featuring adorable ducks (les canards) around a lake.
The Point Genre Gobelins tapestries refer to the high-quality, Flemish-woven, decorative tapestries produced in the 20th century in the style of the historic French Gobelins Manufactory. The most exquisite of these tapestries feature detailed pastoral landscapes ("verdure") and romantic scenes, combining traditional aesthetic charm with durable modern weaving techniques.
This tapestry is labeled as "Point Genre Gobelins", and woven in Flanders (Belgium) during the mid 20th century, to pay regard to the fine detail of antique Gobelins.
While originally a hand-weaving technique, the "Point Genre" 20th-century tapestries often used jacquard looms to replicate the precise, detailed look of traditional high-warp (haute-lisse) tapestry, producing a dense fabric.
These tapestries are designed to emulate the prestige of the official Manufacture des Gobelins in Paris, which has historically produced tapestries for the French crown and government since the 17th century.
