Originally woven in the 17th century at the request of Philibert Orry, director of the King's buildings in 1735, and based on paintings by Alexandre-François Desportes created during a voyage to Brazil, this jacquard readaptation presents a draped horse alongside a dromedary within exotic floral decoration. The bordered version extends the base dimensions of 67 x 50 cm or 100 x 75 cm by 15cm in both directions, creating enhanced presentation that honors the historical significance of this colonial documentation. Desportes' original paintings represented early artistic exploration of Brazilian wildlife and landscapes, transforming scientific observation into decorative art suitable for royal commissions. The additional border treatment provides formal framing that emphasizes the exotic subject matter while maintaining the intimate scale essential for appreciating period detail. Woven from 72% cotton, 25% viscose, and 3% polyester, this bordered format appeals to collectors of colonial art and those who appreciate how 18th-century French artists documented distant lands through textile interpretation that brought global exploration into European domestic spaces.
