On the Design:

This design showcases Perrot’s masterful interpretation of a fantastical avian paradise, where whimsical birds in rich purples, yellows, and burgundies dance among a dense forest of stylized florals against a deep olive ground. The composition is brilliantly balanced with large chocolate-brown leaf forms creating dramatic focal points amidst the intricate pattern of varied blooms in periwinkle blue, soft yellow, and coral.

Perrot's signature style shines through in his detailed treatment of the birds' plumage — each creature uniquely rendered with distinctive markings and expressive eyes — while the overall effect achieves a mesmerizing pattern that exemplifies the finest mid-century Aubusson craftsmanship. The piece demonstrates a dreamlike botanical sanctuary that captures both the decorative richness of traditional tapestry and the imaginative freedom of modernist design.

Condition:

This mid-century French tapestry further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—intended for use in wall-hanging projects only. less
