MANUFACTURES ROYALES D'AUBUSSON
Tapestry door On a Roy blue fleurdelisé background, the coat of arms of the city of Paris is presented : Gules, a ship of silver with sails unfurled sailing on waves proper ; on a chief of azure, a fleur de lys. In support, two dolphins. Louis XIV period. H. 270 cm - L. 310 cm Bibliography and exhibition: Musée Jacquemart André. Paris 1984, reproduced Page 87. Provenance : Dario BOCCARA. In the series of the cities, we know the famous chancellery of the city of Vannes (preserved today in the museum of Vannes). We find the same sowing of flowers of lily very characteristic of these chancelleries which are historically offered by the king to the cities. These two tapestries come from the Manufactures of Aubusson, recognizable by the choice of the wool as main material of weaving.
