Lovely vintage French baroque style tapestry featuring a cast of characters from the mid 1600s.  

The tableau tapestry shows 3 couples in a gondola gliding along the peaceful waters of a small lake beside a stone castle.  One of the gentlemen is playing the violin. On the right side of the vintage woven tapestry is a grand staircase rising into a grove of trees with a handsome couple, who reminds me of the Three Musketeers fashion period cassock, standing alongside their Russian wolfhound, at the top of the stairs is a friar or monsignor along with 2 young friends. Beautiful flowers and fauna are seen along the tapestry edges.

40.5" wide x 26.5" tall and stamped Made in France on the reverse.

Overall light color fade from previous display, there are several small spots seen in the upper left corner of the tapestry shown in the last close up photo and a smudge of color, seen in same photo, this tapestry was gently hand washed in woolite and may benefit from a more thorough cleaning. See photos for complete condition details.

Thanks for looking!
