Good Condition considering its age
No returns
This exquisite tapestry, machine-woven in Belgium (attributed to J. Stevaert), evokes the refined splendor of a late 19th-century French salon. The scene unfolds in an elegant interior characterized by high ceilings, ornate paneling, and richly draped windows. Plush velvet furnishings, gilded decorative accents, and a glowing chandelier establish an atmosphere of cultivated luxury.

At the center, fashionable ladies and gentlemen engage in polite conversation, their attire reflecting the era’s fascination with delicate silks, lace trims, and well-tailored suits. Subtle pastel shades—gentle rose, pale gold, and dusty blue—dominate the color palette, lending a gentle warmth to the tapestry. The figures’ graceful postures and expressive gestures, captured through meticulous weaving, hint at the social etiquette that defined elite gatherings of the Belle Époque.
