Superb Aubusson wool and silk tapestry, mid 18th century (Transition Louis XV / Louis XVI).
Gallant scene with an elegant shepherdess courted by a gentleman in a castle garden. Our tapestry is characterized by its very rich original border decorated with cabochons simulating gemstones. Ideal size, neither too large nor too small.
The tapestry was lined with canvas and fitted with rings to ease hanging.
Extremely fresh colors ; reds are very well preserved. Some wear and old restoration, but the whole remains in good condition and superb.
