Cardaillac
Printed in England
1624, an Aubusson Tapestry. Permanent collection of the museum of the Cité Internationale de la Tapisserie Aubusson, France.
Originally woven to commemorate the marriage of Henri-Victor de Cardaillac and Élisabeth de Pluvinel in 1624, Cardaillac recalls 17th Century Dutch Still Life paintings. Stately bouquets, each a different arrangement of carnations, lilies, roses and arums, are arranged in unique vases upon a striking plain ground.
