17th Century Verdure Tapestry IX mohair Part of The Modernist CollectionThis magnificent late 17th century French verdure tapestry from the Aubusson workshops, is a masterclass in Baroque textile art.

The scene is enriched by intricate botanical foregrounds and is elegantly framed by its original, lustrous floral garland
