Gobelins tapestry

 

Gobelins tapestry refers to a specific type of high-quality tapestry that is produced by the Gobelins Manufactory, a historic tapestry workshop located in Paris, France. The Gobelins Manufactory was established in the 17th century during the reign of Louis XIV and is known for its exceptional craftsmanship and intricate designs.

Gobelins tapestries are highly regarded for their detailed scenes, vibrant colors, and use of various weaving techniques. These tapestries often depict historical events, mythology, landscapes, portraits, and decorative motifs. They were created by skilled artisans who employed techniques like "low warp" weaving and "high warp" weaving to achieve intricate details and shading.
