"Bruxella In Brabanti, Tapestry Atelier Georges Chaudoir - Soleil, Marce Truyens - No. 1528"
Georges Chaudoir, with the active help of his wife Suzanne Perot, is considered the renovator of the art of tapestry, once so developed in Brussels, but he is also, alas, the last representative of this activity which made Brussels famous for many centuries. In 1910, he took over the workshop of Arthur Lambrechts, founded in 1878, almost a hundred years after the closure of the workshop of Jacques Van der Borcht, the last representative of the ancient tradition. After his death, Suzanne Perot, with the help of one of her daughters, Georgette Lambin-Chaudoir, and her grandson, Michel Borin, a decorator who graduated from the Etterbeek School of Art and Crafts, continued this business until Suzanne Perot's death. This is how the last Brussels factory ended, the only one with the right to use the *BB* (Bruxella in Brabantia) mark surrounding the coat of arms. of gules of the Brussels master tapestry makers and which can be found in the works of masters such as Leyniers, Van der Borcht, Reydams, or Van der Dussen.Marce TRUYENS (born in 1939)Modern tapestry around 1960, knotted paint wool, abstract composition, signed lower right and workshop monogrammed on the leftIn keeping with tradition, this magnificent tapestry has undergone a thorough cleaning by our experts at the Galerie Lissier's artisanal workshop.
