nThe design centers on a spectacular floral bouquet overflowing from a classical urn, flanked by decorative columns and exotic birds. The composition is highly symmetrical, balancing lush botanical elements—roses, tulips, and hydrangeas—with architectural scrollwork and cartouches. This piece is a true work of art, deserving of its place among the finest antique rugs available today.

nThe flat weave structure, characteristic of a true flat weave tapestry, allows for remarkable detail and clarity in the pictorial scene. The ground color is a sophisticated taupe-beige, providing a warm contrast to the soft palette of the design, which features delicate blues, pale greens, and accents of rose and coral. The lighter elements, such as the avian figures and certain blossoms, are rendered in beautiful ivory and cream tones.

nRetaining its exquisite color saturation and structural integrity, this textile offers versatility in placement, functioning beautifully as both a wall hanging or a floor accent. Its dimensions classify it as a highly desirable small scatter size, perfect for adding a layer of historical elegance to an intimate space or corridor. This rare French weaving represents a pinnacle of European textile design.
