"Aubusson Tapestry Cardboard From The Workshops Of Marcel Coupé"
Tapestry cartoon made with gouache on paper from the Marcel Coupé Lussier workshops in Bourganeuf near Aubusson. it is a cover from a Dutch genre scene inspired by Teniers. Three men take part in a game that would be similar to Golf while men are seated and share beer in front of a tavern. This is a pleasant, very decorative classic scene of the production of the Coupé workshops which, in 1905, tried to relaunch the production of Aubusson tapestries, an industry in crisis at that time. the workshops are open in Bourganeuf near Aubusson for reasons of water quality and light, necessary for the production of natural dyes. L'Industrie, which experienced a resurgence of interest, finally fell in 1973. The cartoons of this house are quite rare on the market because most of them have been destroyed or sold to the tapestry museum in Aubusson. A very decorative document perfect for a classic French interior. Very good state of preservation
