Hand-knotted in wool and originating in France, this vintage 7x9 tapestry is a rare and special new curation from Rug & Kilim—a signed original by French artist Rene Fumneron.
On the Design:
This impressionistic piece by Fumeron fumes with liveliness and ferocity, qualities often connoted with tigers. The tapestry features a black field underscoring bold hues of gold, green, and cream in an abstract pattern that can be likened to a tiger’s hide. Connoisseurs will particularly appreciate the artist’s strong sense of composition and admirable imagination that shine through the use of bold geometric forms and a bold, vivacious palette. Keen eyes for detail may admire this tapestry as a marriage of centuries-old French weaving tradition with modern aesthetics, demonstrating how the ancient art of tapestry can be reimagined for contemporary sensibilities. It’s a masterpiece with striking detail for its construction, with a fabulous sense of whimsy and presence for any space—a true collector’s piece to be treasured.
Condition:
This Vintage French tapestry further enjoys an overall good condition for its age and origin. It’s intended for use in wall-hanging projects only—those interested in use on the floor or other applications may reach out. less
