7 x 7 - Multicolor Chinese Tapestry Rug - 73700

73700 Francois Boucher Reproduction Tapestry, 07'04 X 07'05.

Drawing inspiration from Francoise
Boucher and The Cherry Picking 'La Cueillette des Cerises' (Paris 1703-1770),
this Louis XIV style tapestry depicts an idyllic romantic scene in a pastoral
setting. A young man gently tosses cherries from a ladder to two young women
each trying to catch the cherries in a basket or skirt. A noble pastime enjoyed
by the French aristocracy was cherry picking while visiting their country
villas. A chateau castle surrounded by trees, dense foliage, and delicate
florals creates a well-balanced composition allowing the viewer to absorb the
depth of the artist’s work. It is enclosed with an elaborate border containing
floral rose bouquets with architectural elements and a strapwork cartouche in
each corner.

With its commitment to tradition and heart full of whimsy, this
French style wall hanging can enliven nearly any opulent period-interior with
color and vitality. Well-suited for French, Rococo, Louis XIV, Louis XI, Louis
XV, Rococo, Chippendale, Regal, Aubusson, Baroque, Renaissance, Old World,
Traditional, European, and Savonnerie inspired interiors with Gobelins or
Beauvais style. Whether in a formal setting with elaborate furnishings or in an
Ottoman style interior, this French style tapestry takes on a spirited type of
energy, some say 'a joie de vivre' meaning to experience the joys of living,
loving and playing by getting back to nature.
