Country Couples with border

Country Couples is a classic romantic Francois Boucher tapestry. It is woven at Lake Como, the centre of the best Italian tapestry weaving. As Director of the royal workshops at Beauvais Francois Boucher (1703-70) produced many designs of Louis XV tapestries. The most famous series were the Noble Pastorale tapestries of 1755 of which this is a detail - 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. This Italian tapestry is lined, with a classic acanthus border, with a rod pocket for easy hanging.
