This vintage French Jacquard textile is a richly woven tapestry, likely inspired by late medieval or Renaissance themes. The scene depicts a romanticised pastoral or courtly life, with figures dressed in elaborate period garments engaging in what appears to be a harvest or garden gathering. The composition features:
A group of men and women adorned in ornate robes, tunics, and headdresses in red, gold, and blue shades. Baskets of fruit or flowers are scattered on the forest floor, enhancing the idyllic nature of the scene. A backdrop of lush, stylised trees and foliage rendered in deep blues, greens, and soft floral hues. Detailed woven elements, including a horse and a figure in the background, possibly suggesting nobility or storytelling.
Crafted using traditional Jacquard weaving techniques, the textile boasts fine detailing and vibrant colours. It’s likely a wall-hanging panel meant to evoke the elegance of French château interiors, where such tapestries told stories or celebrated seasonal cycles.
Authentic vintage and antique European Jacquard textiles are made with wool on a Jacquard loom. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.
Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
Thanks for the seamless buying. Great rug.
