17th-Century French Tapestry – “The Infant Moses”
A Testament to Faith, Artistry, and History
Step into the sacred beauty of a bygone era with this rare 17th-century French tapestry, a moving depiction of one of the most iconic biblical moments—the placing of baby Moses in the basket, just before his journey down the Nile. Woven by the skilled hands of Renaissance-era artisans, this antique textile marries divine storytelling with extraordinary craftsmanship.
Rendered in deep, muted tones of gold, burgundy, and verdant green, the scene is rich in emotional detail: a sorrowful mother, a watchful sister, and the tender form of baby Moses nestled in a finely detailed wicker basket. The flowing river and lush vegetation provide a tranquil backdrop, framed by the ornate floral and architectural borders characteristic of 17th-century French design.
Why This Piece Stands Out:
-
Genuine 1600s French textile artistry
-
Depicts a rare, emotionally powerful biblical subject
-
Preserved with age-worn beauty and historical patina
-
Ideal for collectors, sacred art enthusiasts, or refined interiors
This tapestry isn’t just a wall hanging—it’s a story of hope and providence, captured in thread and time.
Bring home a masterpiece that speaks across centuries.
