French Les Pecheurs Woven Cotton Blanket

Description

Travel back to the 1600s and own a piece of Royal history.

This woven masterpiece is a recreation of a panel from the legendary “Les Anciennes Tentures des Indes” (The Old Tapestries of the Indies) series. Originally commissioned by the Manufacture Royale des Gobelins in Paris, these tapestries were the ultimate symbol of sovereign power, adorning the palaces of Louis XIV and Peter the Great.

A Glimpse of Early Brazil

The scene portrays a romanticized vision of life in Brazil as imagined by the European courts. It features indigenous people and an African woman in a lush, “New World” paradise, surrounded by towering banana trees and exotic flora. Based on sketches brought back from Dutch Brazil, the artwork captures a fascinating cultural intersection—blending historical reality with the theatrical grandeur of the Baroque era.
