Lot 157 | A tapestry with laces , called « feuilles de choux », some restorations and losses
Estimate value
€ 8 000
Rare tapisserie à feuilles géantes enroulées et dentelées, dites aussi feuilles de choux ou

feuilles d’aristoloches ornée au centre d’un volatile, et de différents petits oiseaux, de

branches fleuries, de papillons, de chenilles, entourée d’une large bordure, vers 1550-

1600, Pays-Bas, Enghien ou Grammont.

Cette tapisserie est emblématique de cette période où la fascination pour la botanique

venue d’Asie et d’Amérique mêlée de petits animaux s’exprime avec foisonnement et

une grande richesse imaginative.

Restaurations en haut et bas à gauche, tout au long de la bordure due probablement à des

traces d’oxydation dans les tons bruns, bordure inférieure manquante.

H : 244 cm, L : 246 cm.

Une tapisserie très proche est conservée au musée de Boston, publiée dans A. S Cavallo.
