Lady with Coat of Arms Tapestry

This distinguished jacquard composition derives from a late 17th-century painting commissioned to commemorate the marriage of Elisabeth Charlotte d'Orléans, niece of Louis XIV, capturing a moment of royal celebration through allegorical representation. The scene presents a woman accompanied by two children arranged around a crowned coat of arms, surrounded by elaborate floral garlands set against a luminous yellow background that evokes the golden splendor of Versailles court culture. The heraldic imagery reflects the importance of genealogy and noble lineage during the reign of the Sun King, when such commemorative artworks served both decorative and political purposes in establishing dynastic legitimacy. At 150 x 110 cm in portrait orientation, this medium-format piece provides substantial presence suitable for formal settings that appreciate French royal history and artistic heritage. Available in three premium material compositions: traditional wool-cotton blend maintains historical authenticity, silk-enhanced variant incorporates luminous threads for heightened brilliance, while pure silk composition delivers superior suppleness and refined tactile quality. This work appeals to collectors of French royal memorabilia and those fascinated by how personal celebrations were transformed into lasting artistic statements that documented the social hierarchies and cultural values of absolute monarchy, preserving family history through the enduring medium of textile art.
