Handwoven in wool, this 3x4 vintage French modernist tapestry by Roch Popelier, titled Galop Sauvage, channels abstract equine motion through a bold post-war composition. The piece includes a hand-signed certificate.This exceptional vintage tapestry is engineered around a magnificent, continuous interlocking field of cubist equine forms. The pattern blankets the 4-foot composition, carrying the sweeping, breathtaking presence of an untamed stampede caught in suspended animation. The composition demonstrates a commanding, designer-forward mastery of modernist motif language, presenting a dense, mesmerizing tapestry of angular geometric planes and stylized horse profiles. These exquisite elements are defined by bold charcoal outlines that slice sharply across a deeply textured, static-patterned background.The look of the textile is defined by its fiery, profoundly intellectual color choices. The design favors an alluring, mid-century combination of burnt terracotta orange, deep crimson red, and rich walnut brown etched over a starkly contrasting sand and charcoal backdrop. This controlled, warm-toned palette directly reflects the historic, highly coveted output of 20th-century French revival weaving, which famously prioritized bold expressionist form over traditional pictorial realism.
