Large, 19th Century French, Baroque style architectural tapestry Panel done in needlepoint with red and white rose accents. This substantial Aubusson style piece, measuring 40 1/2" by 70 1/2", was hand made of wool yarns on a canvas mesh base. The white and red rose motif over typically baroque botanically and geometrically inspired medallions and ornate borders are artfully rendered in shades of brown, tan, white, red and pink, much like those found on tapestries woven by the expert weavers of 17th and 18th century Aubusson, France. When needlepoint became a more popular pastime, needlepoint versions of such tapestry motifs were adapted to handwork projects. This piece is in very good condition: Needlepoint panel is antique, some snags on stitches. Edges of canvas on original needlepoint panel have been folded over and are covered by the new lining. This panel was originally attached to something as there are some stretches in the mesh of the canvas edges from tacks. The new back lining is 100% unbleached, natural linen and includes a rod pocket for safe hanging. The whole piece is clean and ready to hang or use for upholstery. This large and lovely panel is ready to be hung and decorate a wall or used to upholster to a new headboard or other large piece of furniture.
