It is said that the factory was set up in bourganeuf and not in Aubusson to benefit from the purity of the water of the Verger, the stream that borders the village, in order to produce very high quality dyes, an essential step in the production of a high-end tapestry. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
