Description
This is a very fine rare authentic Antique French Louis XV Tapestry made with very fine silk on a wool border. This exceptional piece is signed: MANUF RE ROYAL DE BEAUVAIS1773.This would have been part of a larger group of wall hangings and might have been intended for a music room or a library. The presence of a book by Virgil, the great classical Roman poet, indicates that this was rendered for a patron who was very much attuned to the spirit of times(The Enlightenment). The style is clearly 'Transition' the change from Rococo under Louis XV to the neoclassicalism of Louis XVI, as would have expected in the final days of Louis XV's reign.-
