The wheel
Aubusson tapestry woven by Pinton.
With its selvedge.
Circa 1970.
Perrot began his work as a tapestry designer after the war, creating nearly 500 designs, with numerous commissions from the State, most of them woven in Aubusson. His eminently decorative and shimmering style is very characteristic: a profusion of butterflies or birds, most often, stands out against a vegetal background, in the style of mille-fleurs tapestries (which also inspired Dom Robert).
Khaki background, inspiration from medieval millefleurs, teeming birds, all the elements characteristic of Perrot's cartoons are brought together here.
