These Francois Boucher tapestries are mostly woven at Lake Como, the centre of the best weaving of Italian tapestry wall-hangings, though a few are woven in France or Belgium.
All are in the spirit of a major figure in European tapestry weaving. Francois Boucher was Director of the royal workshops at Beauvais and then at the prestigious Gobelins factory in Paris established earlier by Louis XIV. Boucher (1703-70) was the Court Painter for Louis XV and a protege of Mme de Pompadour. It was said of him that "Boucher is one of those men who represent the taste of a century, who express, personify and embody it."
His most famous tapestries were the Noble Pastorale series of 1755 of which many above are details. The originals are twelve feet high and up to nineteen feet in length. His tapestry designs are recognisable for the idyllic romantic scenes in country settings, combining the classical and the pastoral. All these wall tapestries from The Tapestry House are lined, with a rod pocket for easy hanging and have an authentication certificate. We supply instructions for the easy hanging and care of our tapestries.
