This 5x6 vintage tapestry is a signed collectible from the mid-century Aubusson works of French artist Jacques Potin. Handwoven in wool and hailing from France circa 1940-1950, it's both a rare collectible and one of an exciting new curation of works from this artist in Rug & Kilim's European rug and tapestry collection. On the Design: "LE PETIT RAPPEL DES OISEAUX" (which translates to "The Little Reminder of the Birds") is an expressive work of abstract impressionism, originating during a bold resurgence of the style among Potin's works and the works of his contemporaries in post-modernist France. A blue and black border surrounds a dramatic figural depiction of birds, butterflies, and leaves in a tree, underscored by gold, chartreuse, and similar autumnal tones. Admirers of the craft will note the masterful use of colors in such a playful, almost positive negative use of bright and rich together-an outstanding way to create both whimsy and depth in the bold, graphic beauty of such an illustration. From the impressive range of colors and details in the sharpness and curvature of this construction to the sense of movement and life, its many beauties and distinctions speak to a masterpiece of the period; a true collector's find, exemplary of Potin's works and the few others of similar provenance. Condition: This vintage Aubusson tapestry further enjoys great condition for its age and origin-an extremely collectible work. Ideally for exclusive use in wall-hanging projects and similar applications. Rug & Kilim
