about

High-warp tapestry is an exceptional art.

This precious know-how, transmitted in France over the centuries, requires patience, precision and infinite attention to detail. Each piece is entirely hand-woven on a traditional loom, in a process that can sometimes last several months for the same work.




No machine can reproduce this grain, this density, this colored vibration of the yarn. It is the hand, the eye, the gesture, that give life to the tapestry and make it unique.
