Description: | A French Aubusson rustic tapestry from the late 19th century, 'Le Jeu de Colin-Maillard', ('The Blind Man’s Buff') after a cartoon by Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745-1711). This tapestry was part of a set of the 'Amusements champêtres', ('The Pastoral Amusements') after Huet’s paintings who renewed for the Aubusson workshop the set designed by Jean-Baptiste Oudry created for Beauvais. Enclosed within a trompe l’oeil frame border with acanthus leaf and floral spray accents. Wool with silk inlay. Hanging: The tapestry comes ready for hanging, with linen backing and a strip of hook and loop tape at the top end, which can be connected to the opposite side of the supplied hook and loop tape, which could be tacked to your wall. For those who prefer the use of a tapestry rod, we can add the appropriate size loops to accommodate your needs. We now have a large selection of antique tapestry rods available as well, which we can provide detail upon request.
