This 5x7 vintage Aubusson tapestry is a rare and special new curation from Rug & Kilim—a mid-century original by French artist Mandaroux, handwoven in wool and originating from France circa 1950-1960. On the Design:Admirers of mid-century French textile art will immediately recognize this exquisite Aubusson tapestry as a masterwork by Mandaroux, where carnival revelry springs to life in modernist interpretation. The composition, titled "Le Carnaval," demonstrates the artist's sophisticated command of Art Deco-influenced figurative work through elongated celebrants adorned in geometric costumes against a theatrical backdrop. Design connoisseurs will appreciate the masterful colorway—predominantly sage greens and golden ochres against a rich umber ground—characteristic of period French decorative arts. The upper frieze of draped swags and the lower register of stylized flames create a compelling framework for the central festivities. The radiant sun motif and arched architectural elements suggest both Classical and Art Deco influences, while the rhythmic arrangement of figures displays the balanced asymmetry prized in mid-century French design.Condition: This mid-century French Aubusson tapestry further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—intended for use in wall-hanging projects only.
