This is a fabulous vintage French tapestry wall hanging dating from the mid 1900's. It is woven with a 17th Century hunting scene after the Renaissance tapestry ' Chasse à courre de Detti'. It is a very atmospheric piece and would look superb in a country house home.

It is of good quality and is woven in cotton in wonderful colour and detail.

In the background is a fabulous mountain vista and in the middle ground the hunt can be seen to be in full swing.

Around this glorious scene is a sewn border with a flower and leaf design.

The tapestry is in very good vintage condition. It is lined. There are metal fixtures sewn on the back for hanging purposes. There is also a sewn pocket to take a pole.

It measures :- 202 cm (6 ft 7.5 inches) wide x 121 cm (3 ft 11.6 inches) high.

A fantastic vintage tapestry wall hanging to add an authentic château chic statement to a room and another divine antique French textile find from La Belle Étoffe.
