Aubusson tapestry woven by the Legoueix workshop.
With label, n°2/6.
Circa 1980.

 

 

Best known as an engraver, Davo reproduces in tapestry the result of his research in that medium, based on the oxydation of different metals placed on the copper plate. The resulting effects are here translated by the difference of relief obtained by different weaving techniques.

 

This tapestry is reproduced in the publication « Tapisserie d’Aubusson » produced by the Guéret Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the beginning of the 1980’s to illustrate the technical prowess of the Aubusson tapestry workshops.
