Beauvais Tapestry and Beech Wood Furniture Suite

The Beauvais Tapestry and Beech Wood Furniture Suite is an early 18th-century French furniture set comprising a canapé (sofa) and four fauteuils (armchairs). These pieces are crafted from carved beech wood and upholstered with Beauvais tapestry, a renowned French tapestry produced at the Beauvais Manufactory. The tapestry features Chinoiserie and Grotesque ornament designs, created by designers Guy Vernansal, Jean-Baptiste Belin de Fontenay, and Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer. The Beauvais Manufactory, established in the late 17th century under the guidance of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, was known for producing fine tapestries favored by European elites. The brand 'Beauvais Tapestry' originates from this manufactory, and there is no specific information about its current ownership or any subsidiary brands associated with it.
