Flowers in a golden vase, with three birds 1685 - 1715

This tapestry, created by the Savonnerie Manufactory between 1685 and 1715, depicts a vibrant still life featuring an overflowing vase filled with roses, tulips, and other blooming flowers. Three birds perched upon the rim of the vase and in the upper left corner add a touch of life to the composition. This intricate textile demonstrates the high level of skill and craftsmanship that characterized the Savonnerie Manufactory during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The tapestry is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to its artistic and historical significance.
